Chapter 1: Another day, another failed scheme
Hear this! I will kidnap Princess Peach OVER and OVER until I pull it off! And no one can stop me!
Losing is not an option, and neither is giving up!
- Bowser. King of the Koopas
It has been a few years after that one particular event of the Dark Star shenanigans, that one pisky Benish people named Fawful attempts to take over both Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser Kingdom with a virus incident known as Blorbs.
While defeating a powerful being like Dark Star is a feat worth boasting for, it was also one of the things Bowser disliked to talk about.
Why? you may ask? Well, it's because...
"MARIO!" Bowers's voice piped in.
Well, there's your answer…
See, during that fateful fight, Mario, the enemy of the entire Bowser Kingdom, alongside his sibling Green-stache .aka. Luigi, had been inside Bowser's body the whole time.
Needless to say, Bowser feels so violated after learning the truth, at the very least, only a handful of his Minions know that, namely: Goomba Storm Squad, Rope Guy Squad, Spinning Koopa Crop, Bob-omb Blitz, and Magickoopa Mob, who later inform Kamek about the detail of the said incident, and they all took an oath (forced) to never let any soul learns about this.
Good, the fewer people know about this, the better.
"This time I will surely crush you for good!"
Speaking of which… Today is yet another time where Bowser put his carefully brain-stormed scheme to motion.
He had decided, if charging right toward Princess Peach's castle just to kidnap her will alert their presence, then surely they just need to cut down the unnecessary time-waste that causes those annoying Toad to inform Mario he is kidnapping Peach again.
Genius right?
So this time, He'll directly dump his entire Kingdom on top of the Mushroom Kingdom, with all his Minions and Henchmen around, no matter how good Mario is, there's no way Mario would be able to handle all of them at once, no way.
In this plan, they would rush in, take every place over, kidnapping Princess Peach, and most important, defeat Mario once and for all.
With everything past scheme so far, this plan isn't one he has thought about before, how did he not think about this earlier, he had no idea, but like that's important, he is going to win this time, and no one will be able to stop him.
If he couldn't take over Princess Peach's castle, why not bargain in with his own castle? It's not like they could throw a castle away, ha, that'll be rich (Super Mario World, cough, cough.) Besides, that one time with Star Rod was he wished for a new castle under Peach's castle, that one doesn't count.
Now, as for how are they gonna do the plan? Well, over the years, Bowser learns a lot from his defeat, and has improvised a lot too, one of the most important things he learned is that, alongside these defeats, his Minions has grown powerful with it, these experience has driven them stronger, and the scale of plans they could pull each time increased and increased. Difficulty no longer possessed a problem for them. They're the Bowser Kingdom, they can do anything!
So, in this plan, they're going to use Magickoopa's magic casting to teleport them to Mushroom Kingdom this time. And well, sure, his castle can fly freely now after all these year's re-modification, but after some recent incident of their castle crash through the sky because someone kept miss-pressing the engine button for the super-weapon button.
(Note to self: Had someone rearrange the button sign so nobody pressed it wrong ever.)
Now, teleporting a few people isn't difficult for Magickoopas, but teleporting huge objects is gonna be a challenge, but luckily, resources and manpower never were an issue for Bowser Kingdom, except financially, his insurance is already high enough as the way things are around his kingdom.
And luckily, Bowser had faith in his Minions, sure, they mess up from time to time, but in the end, they always pull through, and they're reliable when the time calls.
And now all that is left is the final checking before they launch the attack.
- Dark Land/Bowser's castle
It has been a busy week, many of them are putting their effort to ensure nothing could go wrong with this plan, with years and years of conquer schemes, the Minions have adapted the reflexibility to correct errors or hiccups in the plan.
Sure it was tired and sometimes painful, but in the end, it was all for the glory of their King and Kingdom, the minions are more than honored to help their king's vision come to reality.
And Kamek is one of the minions that feels so.
Dressed in a simple blue wizard robe and wizard hat, as well as a plain glass, with an almost iconic look that always made most people mistaken him for another normal Magickoopa, Kamek is the oldest servant of Bowser, back when Bowser is just a toddler, and has earned the title of right-hand Koopa for the king ever since.
And he also is the strongest Magickoopa in known history if he might add and does say so.
The still in mid-age Koopa with full hand was checking through each squad's preparation for the plan: Power-Ups? Checked; Power Star? Checked, Power Moon? Checked, Cannons? Checked; Airship? Checked, Backup Plans? Checked; The Teleport Magic's ritual circle? Checked.
All that is left is the beginning of casting the Teleport magic, and they will have Mushroom Kingdom in their palm.
Kamek can't be helped but cackled in delight, this plan this time was strong and powerful, with Lord Bowser deciding to focus on Teamwork this time, and Young Master Jr. start taking the leading ship seriously, they will be sure to come out victorious.
Those pesky plumbers won't know what hits them.
"Sir Kamek!" A voice called, broke Kamek from his thoughts.
"Yes?" Turning around, Kamek found himself facing one of the four leading captains of the Minions, Captain Goomba. The second Goomba to receive such an honorable high rank after Goomboss became the head figure of Goombas.
"Sir, everyone is in position, we can begin the mission any time at your command." The Goomba with a red flag on his head reports, despite being a nature idiot, he takes every mission with utter seriousness. After all, to serve the king & kingdom is the highest honor.
Nodding his head, Kamek replies. "Excellent, I shall inform his impacientness that we may begin the plan. Inform everyone we may begin in 10 minutes" Again with the special way of addressing their King, Kamek is one of the only two people in the entire Bowser Kingdom that could so casually and carelessly address Bowser without feeling his wrath.
"Yes Sir!" The headstrong Goomba immediately marched down the hallway, to inform his comrades.
Moving through the corridor, Kamek made her way to the throne room, the door guard saluted before opening the door for the Right-hand Koopa.
Entering the room, Kamek found himself in the presence of other high-ranking officers of the Kingdom, the Seven-Notorious-Koopalings, their rank right below Kamek and Prince Jr. as they held great weight in the kingdom.
The first was Ludwig Von Koopa, the eldest of the Koopaling, yellow and tan skin with a green head and spike blue shell with orange spike rings, his trademark comb up wild wavy-blue hair, alongside his bucktooth, his round yet sharp black eyes gave the world his sense of confidence, with a bit of arrogance. His magnificent intelligence with his cunning tactics earns him the none-official title of the leader of the Koopalings.
The second was Lemmy Koopa, second in line but constantly mistaken as the youngest because of his stunting growth. Yellow and tan skin like Ledwig's, as well as a green head, and features a distinctive pair of orange bars on the left-side that is actually a birthmark for some magical reason? And a spike orange shield with yellow spike rings. His most visual trademark being his multi-colored mohawk, that goes from yellow, magenta, cyan, yellow, magenta, to cyan, and ends in a long yellow rat tail that fades to a more orange hue at the tip. Following with his large, oval eyes that are often crossed or even pointing in opposite directions. Childish in his nature he may be, but he does own the right of being the second eldest with his impressive power despite being the smallest of the 7.
The third was Roy Koopa, third of the siblings, the tough guy of the group, no, no seriously, can you name someone that manages to pull off a pink color scheme while being manly? Same yellow-and-tan skin complexion as the other Koopalings, but his head is Light pink instead of the standard green of most others, spike purple shield with pink spike rings. His distinctive trademark is a pair of cat-eyed hot magenta sunglasses that he never takes off, and the fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout. Despite looking tough and being tough, Roy is more of a chill and laid-back guy.
Then comes Iggy Koopa, the fourth, and a hyperactive, demented, and unpredictable guy that seems to have a loose screw in his head. The same yellow and tan skin color as his siblings, as well as a green head. His lanky and tall appearance makes him the highest of the group. Spike line-green shield with purple spike rings. His trademark being the light green hair with dark green fades at the points that resemble leaves of a pineapple. His large, thick black-framed glasses over his light blue irises. Fang-like teeth like Roy's except having another smaller pair stick out the upper corners of both sides of his snout. Despite being the crazy dude of the siblings, Iggy is perfectly sane, he just prefers being crazy because it's more fun this way.
Wendy O. Koopa. The fifth, the solo strong will girl among the group of male boys, looking feminine but sometimes behaving tomboyish. Yellow and tan skin complexion just like her Siblings, but she is unique in that her head is also this color. Spike pink shell with gray spike rings. Her trademark being her large pink bow with white polka-dots on her head; her pink puffy lips, golden bracelets on her wrists instead of the spiked metal band other male's wear; a long, beaded pearled, red necklace and thick, pink heels. Despite being a lady, Wendy is rather short-tempered just like their King.
Morton Koopa Jr. The sixth and the largest guy of the Siblings. Unlike his siblings, Morton's skin color is deep gray instead of their usual yellow and tan, his head is gray, and the spike shell is black with white spike rings. Morton immediately stands out because of how different he looked compared to his siblings, his trademark was the star-shaped birthmark on his face, and the four, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his large mouth in the same way as Iggy's. And three, thin, long, black hairs at the top of his head. Morton, is… Morton, there's no better way to describe him, he's not dumb, but he's not smart either. Morton is very honorable and loyal to those he cares about.
At last, there's Larry, who Looked like a Larry and behaved like a Larry. The seventh and the youngest of the siblings. Same yellow and tan skin color like his siblings, as well as a green head, and the spike shell is light blue with blue spike rings. His trademark was the blue star birthmark on the left side of his head, and the light blue cockscomb that he cared deeply for, and two, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, similar to Roy's. Despite being the youngest, Larry shows promising potential, as he was able to learn how to breathe fire before his other sibling after Ludwig did. Larry's greatest strengths being his athletic body and acrobatic skills.
And then is the future of the Koopa clan, The Young Prince Bowser Jr. himself. Jr is a mini version of Bowser, resemble greatly like his father when he was young, yellow skin tone that lacks the tan seen on his dad and most of the Koopalings, as well as a light green head, with small horns on each side, each being circled with orange rings, small circular beady eyes, as well as his father's fiery orange hair and eyebrows; his hair being tied up into a top-ponytail. His mouth is wide, puffy, and con-vexed, with a large snout having one, fang-like tooth in the upper left corner. What differs him from his father's younger self look is the white bandana that is decorated with drawn-on fangs that he wears all the time, to make himself more intimidating.
Notice the blue wizard entering the room, Ludwig speaks. "Ahh, Kamek, now that you're here, I believe it's time we began our grand plan is it?"
Before the blue wizard can reply, their king piped in.
"Finally!" Bowser shot his arms up in the air, he had been sitting on his throne in bordon for the past 20 minutes. And his ever short patient is really near empty. "What's taking you so long?"
Kamek bowed to his king. "With all due respect, your awaitedness, the grand scale of this teleport magic while being powerful, is also very dangerous, if there is a single bit interrupted or mistake in the casting process, the result could be messy, especially when it's a scale as large as your plan."
"Bah, like what? Teleport to a different world?" Bowser comments nonchalantly.
"Worse, Princess Peach or anyone from this world might never hear of us ever again."
Silence fell through the whole room.
"SAY WHAT?!" Nearly everyone except Iggy and Morton yelled at the blue wizard. Whit Iggy giggling his iconic "Wee Hee!" laughs, and Motorn not grasping what that means.
"Hold on, I remember specifically that teleport magic is not that dangerous!" Wendy holds her hands up.
"Oh it isn't dangerous, in small numbers, the worst case in a miss-cast is being teleported to a random direction not far from your goal destination, but in large numbers, the result of miss-cast is always horrible."
"And you're completely fine despite knowing it could be super dangerous?" Roy asks, not liking their odds here.
"Of course there's no need to be concerned, after all, it's a super simple magic, it just can't tolerate mistakes." The Magickoopa stated, as a matter of facts.
"And you thought telling us a lower than 1% danger is a good idea?" Ludwig comments while exhaling a tired breath.
"Well, in case if things ever go wrong, I can say I warned you all." The wizard bluntly admits his guilt.
Bowser drags his hand down his face, his mood slightly ruined
Yeah no, just because there's a dangerous risk, doesn't mean he's gonna chicken.
Telling Kamek and his Magickoopa fellows get in position, the grand heist of the Bowser Kingdom is about to begin.
But fate had a different idea in mind.
- Several seconds later.
Falling through the sky, was a ball of bright green flame, it was a Prankster Comet, the nature of these comets was still unknown, but one thing is for sure, these little things are shooting stars with vile intentions that could make your day miserable.
Why did such things exist? Only Star Spirits know.
But more importantly, this particular Prankster Comet was heading directly at Bowser's castle, right toward where the Magickoopa are concentrated in their spell casting.
And… I supposed I don't need to tell you how the rest event goes, do I?
Oh well, if you insist, then listen well, it goes like this.
Everyone is anticipating the incoming event that's their next major mission, to be teleported to Mushroom Kingdom, and take everyone in surprise.
Normally, with how long and how much they've been doing this running gag, they would be casual about it, but the lower than 1% danger still puts many on their toes. Not that the Minions knows that is.
"Oh stars, I'm nervous."
"This is so intense, I think I need to go to the bathroom."
"Is this place getting colder? Or is a boo breathing down my neck?"
"That's me. Sorry. I'm nervous."
While some are giving pep talks to boost morale.
"Alright, we can do this, we'll show what us Goomba can achieve!"
"I'm going to give them an explosion they won't forget anytime soon."
"Careful there Bob-omb, wouldn't want ya to be too exciting and explode before the mission begin."
"Sorry, I just want my first mission to be a big success, to make a big impact!"
- Back at the overseeing balcony.
"Things seem to go according to plan." Pressing his arms on the fence, Larry comments as he looks down at the Minions that are gathering at the courtyard.
"Well, at least nothing could g-" Roy was about to say his mind, but a hand in his face stopped him from finishing the line.
"Auh ba ba ba ba! Don't you ever think about finishing that line, mister." Wendy shut her brother's mouth tightly. "The last thing we ever need is something to actually go wrong."
"Not to be rude sis, but you just said it." Larry raised a finger.
"Heh, he got you there. Oof." Roy smirk at Wendy's expense, only to get a punch shoveled in his chest.
"Bahaha! Wee Hee!" Iggy just watching everything with his usual unnerving laugh.
"Alright, alright, enough messing around, the magic conjure is about to finish, focus." Ludwig stepped in, before his young siblings could start another daily headbutting.
Down at the center of the courtyard, All Magickoopas have gathered around a circle, their wands drawn out, crouching on the floor, all in full concentration and sync, they all mumbling the magic spell that was needed for the plan.
Soon, their wands start glowing brightly, red, blue, yellow, white, the color repeating the pattern, a small blue orb of magic forming at the tip of their wands.
Then, the small gather to the center of their circle, merging together, the sphere continues to grow, bigger and bigger, and the magic sphere continues to grow size, bigger than a Chain Chomp, then a Whomp, then the size of Bowser, and finally, bigger than Bowser himself.
Everyone looks at the performance with awe, it seems this plan really is coming together, Bowser's plan might finally work for once. All seems well for a moment, unti...
Because everyone's attention was on the giant blue sphere, nobody noticed the green Prankster Star on the collision course right toward the blue sphere.
"Hey! What's that!"
And when the green shooting came in view, it was too late.
"Pzzzzzzzz" The star crushed into the magic orb, with the orb absorbing the star's powerful essence, and the orb starts pulsing color randomly, and faster, like a Bob-omb that's about to explode.
"Ah-oh." One Koopa Troopa comments.
Bowser brings his hand to the head and pulls it, gaaaaahhh! why must things always go wrong!
"Kamek! Do something!" He shouted, which met deaf ears, as every Magickoopa was in full concentration, they can't afford to slip even for just a moment, and that means they don't know something is very wrong right now.
"Kamek! Fire that damn thing away before it kills all of us!" Bowser yelled again.
The Minions start taking safety measure:
"Run! Run for your life!" One Hammer Bro shouted, and they began to move away, as far as they could.
Bowser grumbles. "Urrr, you want something done, you gotta do it yourself." He then jumps down the balcony and rushes toward the unstable magic orb.
"Dad!/Lord Bowser!" Jr. and Koopalings yelled in concern, knowing their leader is going to do something reckless again.
"RRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Bowser yelled as he raised his fist, aiming to punch this orb away to the sky.
His fist collides with the orb, and then everything goes white.
When the white flash dies down, the entire castle of Bowser's, along with the entire of Dark Land, vanishes.
So, recalling back to the warning of Kamek's: Where did they go and end up in?
