Ch 12 We All Forgot About Bowser

"It feels like it's been years since I had a decent meal" Lee grabbed his stomach.

"And it's been a long time since we talked to Emitt." Toad touched the case in his pocket.

"Come guys, we only got a few days until we reach Rainbow Road." Shay said.

"It'd be nice to take a rest at a nice hotel." Toad said.

"Come on I bet u can make it a few more days." Shay said. "Besides I bet we'll get some rest when we get to this place."

"I'd rather not try to save the world on a few hours of sleep and with an empty stomach." Toad complained.

"Okay, let's compromise, we get a room tonight and travel the rest of the way." Lee arbitrated. "no complaints."

"Sounds good to me" Toad sighed with relief.

"I guess I can deal with that." Shay agreed.

They continued to walk until they reached the next town. However the town they came upon was less than expected, much less. The town seemed void of life, like a ghost town. Some building had been damaged beyond all repairs, others completely demolished. Almost as if a bomb had gone off.

"Lee." Toad said

"What?" Lee asked looking for any sign of life.

"I don't think there are any decent meals here." Toad answered.

"I told you we should've gone on to the next town." Shay said.

"Aw, but you would've missed the show." A voice came out of nowhere.

"Oh my God someone is still living." Toad said gleefully.

"I'm not exactly sure this is the someone we want to see." Lee said. "Otherwise I don't think they'd be putting on a show in this place."

"Very good, perhaps you are the heroes of koopa city." The voice continued.

"Heroes what are you talking about." Toad question

The voice laughed sounding closer this time. "Like you don't know, because of you we failed to conquer koopa city. Now you're heroes."

"Dear God, IT'S PEACH." Toad yelled in terror. "FTS I'M OUT OF HERE." He ran down the street, Lee wasn't too far behind dragging Shay who had no clue how powerful Peach had become."

"That Morgan Freeman voice over machine I got from Mike Meyers works wonders." Goom walked out of the shadows. He put the microphone back to his mouth. "And in a flash Goom is off to destroy his targets."

Toad and Lee kept running for their life's while insisting to Shay that Peach was beyond powerful now. However, the guy whom they thought was Peach wasn't very far behind. E.Gadd had supped up Goom from head to toe and turned his name into an acronym. Goom now stands for Gnome Orientated Oncoming Marionette. 5 decades from now science will still be baffled to this name. Anyway Goom was closing in on them when.

"Biyah" Bowser flew out of the sky and landed on top of Goom.

"What the crap was that." Lee turned around hearing the huge crashing noise.

"Bowser?" Toad was confused.

"You got that right." Bowser stood up on top of Goom.

"Wait a minute did you just land on top of Peach?" Lee asked

"Peach?" Bowser laughed. "This is just a goomba."

"Just a Goomba." Goom began to lift up Bowser. "I'm Goom, the Gnome Orientated Oncoming Marionette."

"What does that even mean?" Bowser jumped off of Goom.

Toad gasped. "You mean you're not Peach. Man, that means I wasted all that running."

"Now I'm even hungrier." Lee complained.

"and I got dirt all over me for no reason." Shay said.

"WHY IS NO ONE SCARED ANYMORE!" Goom got upset.

Bowser laughed. "Isn't obvious, you just a goomba. People may be afraid of you in packs but, otherwise you're not a threat."

"Did I mention I've been modified by E.Gadd." Goom smirked.

"Your point," Lee said. "My dad told me E.Gadd hasn't done anything important since the last generation."

"Oh yea, I also caused the destruction around us." Goom pointed out the surrounding.

"Which I am impressed by, but I only need be feared if Peach did it." Lee replied.

"Why's that?" Goom asked.

"Did you see what she did to the castle entrance!" Lee yelled. "I mean I could've done that with a couple of bomb-ombs but Peach did it with nothing but the clothes on her back." He explained.

"So you're saying I could just be a bomber." Goom argued

Goom pleaded his case for about an hour that he was more than a force to be reckoned. Though he made it virtually no where considering Lee was to hungry to care, Toad was to tired to care, Shay was ready to get going, and Bowser was ready to stomp on him at any moment. By the time Goom was finished arguing that he was strong, Bowser allies had showed up.

"Oh this is great." Bowser said sarcastically "I was hoping to leave you guys behind."

"But you gave me the map" Griff said.

"Stupid stupid." Bowser slapped his forehead

"Hey weren't we supposed to be getting ready to fight." Goom interrupted.

"Oh right, bring it." Bowser to a fighting stanc
