A/N: The last chapter is chapter 7 so my mistake on the labeling on the last chapter haha. Great, I'm going to die later, I just know it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that is related to Nintendo at all. Even if I did, it still would be better if they owned it so there.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Chapter 8

Inside Bower's Castle

I ran forward and entered the giant castle of Bowser as I dodged a few fireballs and stomped a few enemies. I jumped a few times and climbed up a few platforms and backflipped my way towards the next area. I've been in Bowser's Castle many times before but this is the first time in a long time that this place was challenging. Adding more gravity this time, I was almost losing my sense of balance when I was running and jumping around. I never felt more weird then ever before.

I was running towards a big gate when I saw a floating ball appear. I jumped on and ground pounded the ball into the gate, letting me into the darkness as I stepped forward and saw him: Bowser the size of many galaxies.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the person that makes all my plans go to heck. Mario, we have been fighting for many years and this time, I think I have the chance to finally put you in your place once and for all. I have grown ten times your size. There isn't anything you can do now!" He said as I floated up and landed on a planet as he was floating. Great, how in the world am I suppose to hurt him. I ran for my life as the fireballs begin raining down from the sky as he punched the planet, his hand getting stuck. As this was going on, a few rocks appeared from the ground and I decided to jump up and send one of them to Bowser's face. He backed away from the pain as he chuckled.

"Well, looks like this little plumber has a little more fight in him then I thought. Very well Mario, prepare for more damage!" Bowser said as he started raining even more fireballs from the sky. I just barely dodged a few fireballs and rocks. Bowser started slashing at me as I dodged them with some ease. I rolled on the ground for a few minutes as I lept up and dodged even more fire. I knew Bowser was getting mad at me and I have to use that against him. He tried to punch me but once again, he got his hand stuck in the planet and I hit him with another big rock. He started to growl loudly at me.

"Dang it Mario, you always seem to be able to get the best of me!" He yelled as he unleashed a firewall towards me. I ran to the other side of the planet and lept over the fire as I dived down from another punch. I smashed into the rock as Bowser was hit right in the nose. He just floated there for a few minutes and then, he started falling as a Grand Star appeared out of his mouth. Looks like Bowser has been using the Grand Star to make himself bigger. He picked himself up and growled at me.

"Well Mario, this round is yours for now but mark my words, I will return and next time, I will get you, my plan is already going into action and I don't want you around to see it happen." And with that, Bowser disappeared into the darkness as I grabbed ahold of the Grand Star and made my way back towards the ship, happy with the battle I just fought.
