Chapter 10: fall of the mushroom kingdom

Note: I got the name from a flash that was called "Rise of the mushroom kingdom." I hope you people who are reading this story will leave comments.

Revised

The 4 ran through the castle town asking people who the koopa leader was, but to no avail. Everyone was panicking too much to even notice the heroes. Toads tried to help their children from under burning pieces of rubble, while some native koopas had retracted into their shells while the soldier koopas kicked them around calling them traitors.

Links had paused and watched this vision of horror. It seemed to have had triggered memories of Link's past. The site made him clutch his heart in pain as if he was choking.

"Damn it's no good." Fox said in frustration, ignoring Link's plight. Kirby tugged on Link's Tunic as Link fell to the floor.

"Link!" Fox said now noticing his friend's agony. Link slowly rose to his feet.

"I'm fine don't worry about me, let's help these people." Link said.

The 4 of them approached a group of soldier koopas terrorizing a toad mother protecting her child in her arms.

"Hey, I don't think I've seen them around these parts before." One of them said.

"Leave them alone!" Link said in a dark tone as he put his hand on his sheathed sword.

"Pfth, what are you and your ragtag group of friends gonna do about it?" The same koopa replied.

"This!" Fox said as he pulled out his gun and fired a laser. The bolt instantly sent the koopas packing.

"Thank you!" the mother toad said.

"No problem, now hurry and get out of here." Fox said.

She quickly got off the floor and sprinted out of the burning town with her child in arms.

"Yoshi, you should evacuate the citizens while we find the enforcer of this rampage." Fox said.

Yoshi replied with a gleeful salute and began his mission.

"Wow, you're some leader huh?" Link said impressed.

"I'm not a captain for nothing." Fox said with a confident smile. "Now let's go!"

"Finally, I can watch this place burn into the ground with no one in my way!" Bowser said with dark laughter. He had been floating not too far above the burning town watching it's destruction in his clown car.

"Must you always be so one-track minded." Mewtwo said next to him.

"You just don't have a sense of humor." Bowser said still watching the destruction.

A few meters down, Luigi is seen running with his hat on fire. "Ha-ha look at Mario's chicken brother run!" Bowser said almost falling over laughing.

"Mario's brother you say?" Mewtwo said with a gleam in his eye. Bowser then noticed the 3 heroes running through the town.

"Hey aren't those the pricks the big guy said to watch out for?" Bowser questioned.

"Yes, you can take care of them if you please, I see bigger opportunities." Mewtwo said.

"It'll be my pleasure." Bowser said as he took off.

"This could be interesting." Mewtwo said sadistically.

The 3 heroes eventually saw a man in green running with scars. "HELP!" he said as he made no attempt to stop.

But Fox was able to grab him and said "Okay now you have to tell us, who caused all this?"

Luigi, startled by his aggressive approach had said "His name i-i-is Bowser." He stuttered.

"Where is he?" Fox asked.

"I don't know but he may be in the theater after Peach." Luigi said pointing to a large building.

Fox threw him to the ground and they ran in that direction. Luigi had gotten up and brushed the dirt off himself. He had stared at the 3 run with a confused look. He hadn't even noticed the shadow behind him.

They soon reached the theater but were interrupted by Bowser.

"Were do you punks think your going?" he said as he came crashing down.

"Are you the guy named Bowser?" Link said.

"Nooo… hey give the boy a brownie!" Bowser laughed.

This enraged Link who said "don't call me BOY!" as he pulled out his sword with fire in his eyes.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" he said as he ran at top speed.

Bowser seeing this had jumped back into his clown car. Link had busted through the door as Fox and Kirby followed. The people were outraged.

Bowser then rammed past the heroes in the doorway on his clown car. The people began screaming.

"Bowser is back!" Bowser said as he flew to the ceiling.

"Bowser how dare you assault the castle even at this time of year over your silly affection over me!" Peach said enraged.

"Don't worry princess, this time I didn't come for you." Bowser said sadistically. "I'm here to have some fun!" he said laughing maniacally.

"Hey what is this?" Wario said in the cheap outfit. Bowser then burned the costume and Wario with him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wario screamed as he ran out the building.

"Just doesn't compare to the real thing." Bowser said.

"I won't let you destroy our city!" Mario said.

"Mario!?" Bowser growled. "I see your still a plumber." He said snickering.

"Oh, sorry." Mario said. He then spun around until he was back in his casual outfit. "Ya miss me?"

"You know I could make you a king in the new order of this kingdom." Said a sadistic voice.

Luigi had opened his eyes to see he was in the castle grounds. "Who-who are you?" He stuttered.

"I'm a friend who just wants to help you out." The voice said.

"I d-d-don't need help!" Luigi said in defiance.

"Hm, hm, hm according to those trousers I think you do." Mewtwo snickered.

Luigi had frowned at the realization of him soiling himself.

"I can help you, I can make you stronger" the voice said. "All I need is your cooperation." The creature said as it appeared before Luigi.

"Dammit!" Bowser said looking at his worst enemy. "Don't you ever die?"

"Sorry that's sort of a problem for me!" Mario said with a confident smile on his face.

Bowser decided not to start a battle here and he grabbed Peach. "Princess!" Mario said. Bowser left through the roof without saying a word and headed towards the castle. Mario jumped through the hole Bowser created and followed him.

"Wow, for a fat guy he can jump." Link said.

"C'mon" Fox said as he ran out of the theater and the others followed.

Bowser made his way to Peach's Castle. Mario had tried to catch Bowser but he was too high in the air and he flew into the castle keep. Mario unfortunately only made it to the castle grounds. Soon Link and the crew had arrived.

"You should think before you run after someone like that!" Link said as they reached Mario.

"Humph, your one to talk." Fox said under his breath.

"Who are you?" Mario asked trying to catch his breath.

Suddenly a portal opened up. A white creature and 4 other odd creatures had appeared.

"YOU!" Fox said recognizing the creature immediately.

"Ah I'm glad you remember me." The creature said.

"And you are?" Mario said.

"I am known as Mewtwo." The creature said.

"You know this guy?" Link asked Fox.

"He's the one who crashed my ship!" Fox screamed. "I'll kill you!"

Mewtwo only laughed at Fox's rage.

"What an idiot." Said a voice behind Mewtwo.

Mario looked to see his brother, possessed by dark magic. His once green clad younger brother now bore a purple cape and an odd purple outfit resembling a wizards garb with pitch black eyes.

"Hello dear brother, happy to see me?" Luigi said.

"What did you do to him?" Mario said pointing to Mewtwo.

"He didn't do anything!" Luigi said in defiance. "I just joined the winning side."

"Luigi…" Mario said looking at the ground.

"Hehehe what's wrong, Super Mario can't do anything? Too Bad!" Luigi said with an evil smirk.

"Hehehe alloys, attack!" Mewtwo said as his team of henchmen charged for the heroes.

The mutants immediately charged towards the team.

"I've gotta layoff the mushrooms." Mario said as the monsters attacked.
