Author's Note: Okay guys, a horrible storm hit the area where I live at earlier this week and I went THREE days without using the internet, but I'm fine now.
I hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 9
Wario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Captain Toad are seen guarding the front entrance.
"We'll each have to fight around 15!" Shouted Wario.
"Wario, PLEASE hand me my spear! I'm not fighting these bastards bare handed!" Shouted Captain Toad.
"Mario, when I'm done with these guys, I'm coming up there to help you." Thought Luigi.
"Don't… you… UNDERSTAND!? You're not fighting YOUR war… you're fighting THEIRS. The princess, the politicians, the corrupt business owners. If you were a true hero, you'd fight for us!"
Toadarius let Mario free from his grasp and let him breathe.
After taking a moment to gather his words, Mario speaks.
"Toadarius, I will NEVER change my lifestyle so SOMEONE ELSE can achieve power!"
"Mario, the Mushroom Kingdom doesn't need all these-"
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP FOR ONE SECOND! You know, back when I was a teenager and living in Brooklyn, I had to read this book… '1984,' by George Orwell. One sentence stuck to the back of my mind and now I remember it clearly now.
'Power is not a means, it is an end.
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution;
One makes the revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.'"
Mario points at Toadarius.
"You win this war, Toadarius, and the Kingdom will be in worse shape than it has ever been!
You like to think that you fight for the people.
You like to think that if ONLY the people were in charge of everything, the future would all be sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows everywhere!
Well, I'd like to see you all do THEIR JOB!
You AND those three bastards we tied up! I'M JUST A PLUMBER!
What these people WANT is for people like THEM, as you say, to make the hard choices.
To run the kingdom for them, so they can live what they believe are comfortable lifestyles. With their cell phones, their entertainment, and their sports.
Knowing that there are better people that are in charge!"
Toadarius stares at the ground for a while then shouts,
"NO! NO, YOU'RE WRONG! The Toad's had always been cooperative and sharing everything they had before they were introduced to private ownership of resources by Peach's ancestors… WHO TRAVELED HERE BY MAGIC WARP PIPE!"
Mario then takes out a cigarette and lights it with his fingers.
"Whatever. I'm done arguing with you. I only hope this'll kill me before some shitty economic policy does."
"Depression?"
"Yup."
"Well, I can't help you there."
After killing only three rebels, Captain Toad feels himself getting exhausted.
"Everybody else has their hands full. I'M GONNA FUCKING DIE HERE!"
*BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM*
After instinctively covering his ears, the Captain looks in shock after seeing what looks like the heads of the rebels that he was fighting suddenly explode.
"Nihao, amigos!"
It's Sol Aris. Ready and willing to put down the resistance with his pulse rifle.
"Who the hell is this guy?" Questioned the Captain.
Looking down on the fighting below, Toadarius comments.
"Hey Mario, how long do you think it'll take me to kill the guy in the trenchcoat?"
Mario didn't say anything; instead, he grabs Toadarius's collar and drags him away from the edge.
"You're fighting ME!"
"I really don't want to kill unarmed people unless I have to. But if I HAVE to."
"TOADARIUS!"
They look up, it sounds like it came from the sky.
In the distance, Bowser Jr. ejects himself from his clown copter, joining the fight.
"Oh god! Not you!" Complains Toadarius. He hates koopas.
"You okay, Mario?" Said Bowser Jr.
"Junior, you shouldn't have come here. Toadarius has a… invincibility spear! He'll kill us!"
"Really? What if I used THIS!" Junior holds up a wand.
"Kamek's wand? That gives me an idea."
Toadarius just stands there, looking confused.
"Does this idea of yours involve another one of those stories?" He commented.
"Remember that one story about me finding the Chaos Emeralds with Sonic and Shadow the hedgehog!?"
Toadarius raises an eyebrow. "Super Mario Bros. Z?"
"OH YEAH! I GET IT!" Shouted Junior.
Mario grins and shouts out to Toadarius. He pulls out his phone.
"Look, Toadarius, A CELL PHONE! YOU HATE THESE, RIGHT!?"
Toadarius sighs and shouts back.
"IT'S AN UNNECESSARY LUXURY, YES!"
"WELL, LOOK WHAT IT CAN DO!"
By simply pressing a button on the screen, Mario's kart fires its blue shell…
And since the strongest person around is Toadarius.
"All right. I got this. I got this. I got this."
*ZAP*
"Huh?"
*CRACK*
"OW!"
Bowser Junior has used Kamek's wand to upgrade the blue shell into the Metal Winged Blue Shell.
"The blue shell ALWAYS hits the guy who's in first!" Shouted Mario.
Like a weird game of father-son catch, they keep throwing the unbreaking shell at Toadarius, his spear doing pretty much nothing to help him.
It was around the sixth time, however, he drops it.
Bowser Junior shouts into the wand.
"He's wide open! Fire it now!"
The Elite Trio; Corporal Paraplonk, Private Goomp, and Sergeant Guy, heard Bowser Junior's command.
"You heard the boss! Fire it!" Shouted Paraplonk.
Goomp and Serge nodded and fired the Bullet Bill Launcher.
"AAUGH! MY HEAD! I think I got a con…"
Toadarius pauses. He notices a Bullet Bill coming straight for him. It's eyes erase any doubt in his mind.
"I regret nothing."
*BLAM*
Mario stops shielding his face.
Toadarius… is dead.
"Mario, we would like to thank you for saving those troops back at that factory. It was a selfless act and you have all of our respect!"
"Thanks, Paraplonk. That means a lot coming from you."
Looking down on the others, Bowser Junior strengthens his hold on Toadarius's spear.
There are about 12 rebels getting tied up after they just surrendered. Their leader now dead.
He has no time to think about what's gonna happen to them, however, he has something else entirely to work with.
He walks up to Mario.
"Hey Mario, umm… we actually need your… opinion on… something."
"Hmm. What is it, Junior?"
"You need to come with us."
It took a bit of convincing, but Bowser Jr. and the Elite Trio did seem desperate enough.
"I've helped people out all day. Now I gotta help at night, too?"
Mario yawns, he's normally asleep by 10:30 but it's almost midnight.
He plans to leave Bowser's Castle in about half an hours after giving his 'opinions.' Return to Peach's Castle by 2 and spend the night there. In a bed comfier than his and safe from any potential assassinations.
He paces back and forth in a long, narrow hallway. The light from the Moon gives the perfect clarity for where he's walking.
Suddenly, he hears footsteps from the other side of the hallway, behind him.
Mario sighs, when is Bowser going to show his face?
"Hey, man! I don't have time for all this crap! Keeping me up past my bedtime! Either get Bowser over here, or I'm just gonna…"
"LIKE… the Moon over the day…"
Mario stops talking. A female voice?
Whoever this woman may be, why is she quoting the haiku that Bowser composed in that one story where he had to fight invaders from another dimension?
Quickly turning around to face this woman, Mario gasps.
She looks almost identical to Princess Peach. Also having a few unique features. Black instead of pink, and blonde hair in a ponytail instead of it just hanging free.
To say that her breasts are big is an understatement, and here teeth are just simply… sharp.
But what caught Mario's attention most is the crown she is wearing.
It's a very rare and very valuable crown. Some people actually believe it doesn't even exist.
It's a crown that, when worn, changes the wearers appearance into ANY physical form that they thought up for themselves.
As long as the physical form imagined is female.
In other words, it transforms the wearer, giving an outer display of an imagined, but detailed internal female image.
Mario instantly came to this conclusion.
This woman… this… beautiful woman… is Bowser.
And what he is seeing… is the image that Bowser thought of himself AS.
With perfect clear blue eyes, she looks directly at Mario as she finishes her haiku.
"My genius and brawn are lost on these fools."
After hearing that well-crafted haiku again, Mario felt something.
He felt the blood rush out of his brain as he loses his balance and hits his head on the hard rock floor below him.
GOTCHA! THIS IS A BOWSETTE RE-IMAGINED STORY ALL ALONG!
I was just getting started with writing fanfiction when the whole Bowsette craze became a thing. I was mesmerized by her.
Paying attention to the Ayyk92 story got me thinking. Bowsette doesn't really HAVE to come from a Super Mario Odyssey alternate universe. She could come from something else entirely.
I told myself that as soon as I would finish the story I was working on at the time, I would work on this one.
I didn't care that the meme would practically be dead in some people's minds by then; I wrote this entire story as my personal tribute to Bowsette and I'm proud of it.
Just three more chapters to go, guys.
