Chapter 14: The Bwario Brothers

(In a distant area in the Lava Pit)

A mysterious figure in a black cloak was standing at the edge of a lava cliff watching the MegaBug flying towards Bowser's castle.

Mysterious figure- Damn it! This is not good.

Then Susie rushes up to the Mysterious figure in a real hurry.

Susie- Sir, I've just heard the MegaBug has been freed!

Mysterious figure- I already know, Susie. It's heading for Bowser's castle right now.

Susie- Well, think it will just stay in Dark Land and leave the Mushroom Kingdom alone?

Mysterious figure- Be realistic, Susie! But the reason why the MegaBug got freed is because of Tabuu.

Susie- WHAT?!

Mysterious figure- He hypnotized Spawny to move closer to the vortex where the MegaBug was and had Spawny give the MegaBug some of his own power. Just look at the MegaBug's left wing.

Susie saw Tabuu's mark on the MegaBug's left wing as it flew.

Susie- But why would Tabuu get himself involved with something so cartoony and screwy as the Rabbids invading the Mushroom Kingdom? He has nothing to really gain form this.

Mysterious figure- He must be waiting for me to make a move.

Susie- Huh…?

Mysterious figure- Tabuu must've figured out the REAL reason why his Tabowser plan backfired. And now he's trying to lure me out. Shit! I figured he would eventually figure out I was still alive, but I was hoping it wouldn't be this soon! Now this will make helping Mario more difficult!

Susie- What will you do now?

Mysterious figure- I still made a promise to my best friend…Marco…and I still have to keep that promise.

Susie- Hold on! Let me handle the rest. I'm sure Tabuu won't be expecting any of your followers like me to make your move instead.

The mysterious figure pulled out a red box and handed it to Susie.

Mysterious figure- Very well. Try and get this to Mario without being seen. This is the only weapon that can stop the MegaBug.

Susie- Don't you worry! I'll get it done!

(In another part of the Lava Pit)

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Ty, Shantae, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Yoshi, Rabbid Kong, Rabbid Sonic, Rabbid Ty, Rabbid Shantae, and Beep-O arrived at what looks like the gateway to Bowser's castle.

Mario- There it is! We just have to get passed this area and we'll be at the entrance of Castle Koopa!

Beep-O- You sure this is the right way to Bowser's castle?

Shantae- This place is just as tacky as Bowser's castle! I think that's a good indication.

Sonic- I hope we're not too late! What am I saying?! Me, late?! Never happen!

Without warning, Rabbid Kong pushed Princess Peach to the ground and held his arm out to block a cell weapon fire launched from above.

Rabbid Kong- (ROAR)

Standing on the higher ground was a Rabbid that was dressed like Wario and even had a crooked mustache like Wario.

Bwario- BWA BAW BAWH!

Beep-O- Who is that?!

Luigi- It's a Rabbid trying to impersonate Wario it would seem.

Then Donkey Kong turned around and caught a large pipe that was swung at him from behind by a Rabbid dressed like Waluigi.

Bwaluigi- (ROAR)

Donkey Kong managed to knock Bwaluigi away from him and the rest of his friends.

Princess Peach- Not just Wario, but a Waluigi Rabbid copy too.

As everyone was pulling out their cell weapons, another Rabbid was creeping up behind Mario. The Rabbid quickly tapped on Mario's shoulder, but when Mario turned around, he saw nothing behind him. But when Mario looked in front of him again, he saw a female Rabbid with glowing orange eyes, wearing a purple wig, and had some kind of mask on her face. She quickly grabs Mario and kisses him on the nose before dropping him to the floor. Rabbid Sonic and Rabbid Ty began to laugh as Mario got himself back up.

Beep-O- I think she likes you, Mario.

Rabbid Peach- BHAW BHAW BHAW!

Rabbid Peach aimed her cell weapon at the Lava Queen, but she managed to dodge it. Then the Lava Queen opened up the cell weapon on her armor like the Valkyrie and returned fire at Rabbid Peach. It also lit part of Rabbid Peach's rear on fire and made her run around uncontrollably.

Ty- Looks like we'll have to deal with these creeps before we can get to Bowser's castle, mates.

Rabbid Ty- Bhaw…mate…

Bwario pulled out his cell weapon again and began firing. Luckily, Mario and the others dodged it. Luigi hid behind some cover and wondered how he'd be able get to Bwario.

Rabbid Shantae- BHAW!

Luigi looked as Rabbid Shantae and she was jumping up and down.

Luigi- Oh, I get it. You want me to give you a jumping boost.

Rabbid Shantae- BAHW!

Rabbid Shantae nodded her head and pulled out her crossbow cell weapon. Luigi held his arms out and helped Rabbid Shantae launch herself into the air.

Bwario- Baw…?

Rabbid Shantae fired her crossbow at Bwario and a ball of ink covered his head. As Bwario tried to get the ink off of his head, Rabbid Shantae swung her hammer and knocked Bwario to the lower area. But as Bwario managed to get the ink out of his eyes, he saw Rabbid Sonic spin dashing right towards him. Bwaluigi swung his pipe at Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong blocked with his Monkey Punch.

Princess Peach- That Rabbid cosplaying as Waluigi…I think he's the same class as those Smasher Rabbids.

Shantae- I think you're right. Maybe we can beat it the same way we beat those other Smashers.

After Bwaluigi was knocked back a bit from Donkey Kong's Monkey Punch, Princess Peach used her flamethrower cell weapon to launch a fireball at Bwaluigi.

Bwaluigi- (ROAR)

As Bwaluigi rushed for Princess Peach, Shantae fired her flamethrower from an area far away from where Peach was standing and hit Bwaluigi. Bwaluigi turned around to try and charge for her, but he was suddenly struck in the leg by a pair of boomerangs, causing Bwaluigi to kneel a bit.

Rabbid Ty- Bhaw…mate…

Bwaluigi glared at Rabbid Ty as he caught the boomerangs he through making their return trip. Bwaluigi struggled to get up and tried to rush for Rabbid Ty, but he was quickly knocked to the ground when he got hit by Rabbid Kong's banana boomerang and Rabbid Yoshi's cell weapon. Mario looked from behind his cover to see if the Lava Queen was still there. But as soon as Mario peeked, he saw the Lava Queen peek her head from behind what she was using as cover and blew a kiss at Mario.

Mario- This is a bit disturbing.

Sonic- Tell me about it! It's almost as bad as when Amy refuses to leave me alone!

As soon as the Lava Queen saw Sonic, she open fired on him. Sonic ducked just in time.

Sonic- I can move passed all that rapid firing, but that armor will make it too hard to knock her out in one blow!

Ty- Luckily for you, I believe I have the solution. If I can hit her with me Freezerangs, it might be able to weaken her powers. Just need to get her to move out into the open when she won't use anything as cover.

Then Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Luigi walked out into the open where the Lava Queen could see them. Rabbid Mario stuck his tongue out at her while Rabbid Luigi put a picture of a bullseye on his butt while shacking it. The Lava Queen got angry and fired at them. Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Luigi were barely able to dodge and they continued to make fun of her. The Lava Queen jumped on the block she was using as cover and then jumped high into the air. She was about to ground pound on Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Luigi. Luckily, Yoshi wrapped his tongue around them and pulled them out of the way before the Lava Queen could land on them. Before the Lava Queen could do anything, Ty quickly through his Freezerangs at her and froze her solid. Mario and Sonic fired their cell weapons at her before the Lava Queen could thaw out and knocked her to the ground. The Lava Queen, Bwario, and Bwaluigi barely managed to get up, but instead of continuing to fight, they retreated. But not before the Lava Queen blew on last kiss to Mario.

Beep-O- Glad that's over!

Mario- Now we can focus on getting to Bowser's castle before the MegaBug can do anything to Bowser.

Suddenly, something hit Rabbid Kong in the back of the head. Rabbid Kong turned around to see what it was and he found a banana lying on the ground. Rabbid Kong ate it instantly, but then he saw a trail of banana leading away from his companions. But the oddest thing was Rabbid Kong thought he saw a flock of pink hair moving behind the corner where the trail of bananas led. Rabbid Kong paid no mind to it and just ate the banana while following the path.

Mario- There, I got the gate open. This will take up there as fast as Sonic's speed.

Princess Peach- Hold on a second…where's Rabbid Kong?

Then they heard the sound of someone choking nearby. Mario and the others rushed to where the sound was coming from and saw Rabbid Kong was acting like something was stuck in his throat. Donkey Kong quickly gave Rabbid Kong the Heimlich Maneuver and Rabbid Kong spat out a shiny red box.

Shantae- What is that thing?!

Then Ty heard a loud beeping sound coming from his tablet computer, so he pulled it out and was surprised at what he saw.

Ty- I don't know, but the readings I'm picking up from it are beyond measurements! It's similar to the tech in our cell weapons, but I'm picking up a power much greater than our cell weapons from inside that box!

Sonic- Think there's some kind of cell weapon in there?

Suddenly, a large beam of energy was coming from Bowser's castle.

Beep-O- No time! We gotta move!

Mario put the red box in his pocket as him and the others began rushing towards Bowser's castle.
