Dream sequence
A one year old Raven giggled from her crib as Toadsworth made funny faces at her.
"Toady!" She squealed.
She looked around at the soft blue walls, feeling safe.
Suddenly, the wall closest to the crib exploded and a creepy guy came through.
He had horns and a tail.
Little Raven screamed in terror as he came closer to her. She was scared of the giant scary guy.
"Let's see how you like this, Toadstool' He growled, picking up the baby and cradling her.
Raven began to cry.
The present day Raven stood behind Toadstool,unable to move,unable to talk.
Morton Koopa, who was the father of Bowser,jumped out the hole in the window into his airship.
18 year old Raven was then no longer 18 but one as she now was in the pov of her younger self.
"Shhhhh"Morton tried to calm her.
"MOOOMMMYYY!"She wailed unhappily.
He sighed as he carried her into the heart of the ship.
Thats where everything went black for her.
When she woke up, there were creepy brown guys around her.
The guy who had abducted her, was arguing with a Magikoopa
"But she's royalty! This is wrong, King Morton and you know it" The magikoopa yelled.
The one he referred to as Morton growled.
"Do not DARE to question me again, Kamek, or you will find yourself without a tongue."
The magikoopa shrank back.
''Now fill the syringe." Morton barked.
The magikoopa glared.
"With what,sire?" He spoke calmly.
Morton pondered on this.
"Parakoopa, then koopa."
Kamek bowed and as he did, he saw the little girl was awake.
His eyes went wide.
"HURRY UP!" Morton roared.
Mouthing a 'sorry' at her, the magikoopa took out a syringe.
He filled it with a greenish liquid.
'Hold her down" He ordered.
Something heavy was holding down her arms and legs.
The magikoopa pushed down on the plunger.
The child began to scream as white hot pain spread through her body.
"The Parakoopa Dna has been administered. "She heard someone voice sounded far away.
''Now the Koopa Dna.''
The other pain was nothing compared to this.
Her body felt as if it were on fire.
Still,hands kept her down.
She was going to die.
She knew it.
"MOMMMAAA!"
"MOMMMA!"Raven screamed as she woke.
An arm rubbed her back.
"RAVEN!ITS OK!WAKE UP!" Roared a voice.
Raven blinked hard.
She was in a giant bed,much too big for a human.
Bowser's face filled her vision.
Raven looked confused.
"Um.."Her face went bright red. What on Earth was he doing watching her sleep?
Bowser's face broke into a grin.
"Are you ok,Princess?'he questioned.
Raven's body was covered in sweat.
"Y-yeah..w-where am I?'She questioned shakily.
Bowser took a deep breath.
"My room.I tried to put you in the guest room last night, but you wouldn't let go of me. So I put you in my room for the night."
Raven's face went redder.
The memories from last night gradually came back.
The party,the copter.
The hug.
*OH MY GOD!*She yelled in her mind.
Moonlight streamed through the window,which was similiar to hers,leading to a balcony.
"Um, ok then"
The giant Koopa laid back down next to her.
He cuddled close, so she wouldn't get cold.
"You can tell me what the dream was about in the morning. "He whispered.
Raven nodded
Resting her head on his forearm, She fell into an uneasy sleep.
She remembered not what happened after she had blacked out after she had been injected. Her father told her that she had been between life and death for a good five months before her body had accepted the new Dna. Of course, there had been more pain when the Wings had begun to grow.
When Raven awoke, sunlight streaming through the blood red curtains, Bowser was gone.
She rubbed her eyes .
Great. I showed weakness in front of an enemy. She thought angrily. Father would have my head. He would say I forgot my training.
She took out her Mushroom Music Player and stuck the headphones in her ears.
One of the songs from her cds,Lithium,was on.
She began to hum along as she pulled out her unfinished book she was working on and a pen and got to work.
Raven never even noticed the small Koopa jumping onto the bed until he tugged at her pant leg.
She paused her song and put her paper down to see who was bothering her.
A small toddler Koopa with a white bandana around his neck looked at her curiously.
Raven looked at him as he tilted his head cutely.
"You're so adorable!" the words burst from her mouth.
The toddler Koopa began grinning wildly before he hopped into her lap and nuzzled her face.
"You're pretty sissy Ravey" He commented.
Raven blushed as she stroked the toddler's red ponytail. Why on Earth would he call her "Sister." Of all things?
"What's your name?"She questioned.
"Bowser Junior."he grinned as he spoke his name.
"May I call you BJ?"
He nodded shyly. He was used to that nickname. His brothers and sister had given it to him.
"Okay!"
Raven smiled.
"What are you doing in here ?"
Bowser Jr. thought for a moment.
"What's this?"
He picked up the unfinished book, showing it to her.
"Thats a book Im working on'' She replied, smiling when his eyes lit up.
"Like a storybook? Will you read what you have so far?" His face was so cute.
Raven nodded and the toddler let out a happy squeak and cuddled against the pillow.
She opened up the book.
Toadsworth had recommended that she write about the hardest times in her life.
In Raven's case, she had changed the names and made it into a novel.
In a kingdom far away, there lived two princesses, Daffodil and Angel.
While Daffodil was good and did as she was told, Angel bungee jumped off her castle's tallest towers and ignored orders.
This girl had a terrible secret that no one else knew.
She had been a victim of the genetic mutation experiments of the neighbouring country.
She was now part Parakoopa.
Her mother had named her Angel in hopes that she would be a gentle person.
One day, Angel met her Prince .He was perfect for someone like her, because he was also rebellious.
The two fell completely in love, or so Angel thought.
One day after about two years, Angel came back from her morning jog to see Daffodil in the arms of Prince Charming.
The prince whispered sweet nothings into Daffodil's ear.
Heartbroken, Angel took her first breath of fire, scorching Prince Charming into a pile of ashes.
Angel packed her worldly possessions and travelled to her other sister Plum's castle.
She lived there, but never forgot what Daffodil had done to her...and that's all so far" She finished only realizing the small Koopa was asleep.
The door was ajar and another bigger Koopa came had wild blue hair.
"That was a very interesting story Princess." He commented. "Ludwig Von Koopa's my name"
Raven's eyes went wide.
"The Ludwig Von Koopa? I have some of your work on my mushroom music player!"
Ludwig raised an eyebrow.
"I am...deeply flattered" He gave one of his rare smiles.
"Daisy we have a problem" Peach spoke into her cellphone.
"What is it and why cant it wait?"crackled Daisy's voice.
"Raven is missing. Bowser kidnapped her."
"WHAT?!SHOULDN'T HE HAVE KIDNAPPED YOU?"Daisy screamed, her voice thick with surprise.
Peach bit her lip.
"He said he wasn't there for me.I'll call you back."She hung up.
Turning around,she came face to face with a tied up and gagged Toadsworth and grinning Mario brothers.
''Sorry Toadsworth,but this is the only way I can do this without you stopping me."She apoligized.
Mario was the first to speak.
"Where are you going?"he questioned,noticing the pink bodysuit on Peach's body.
Peach stood up straighter,her eyes blazing.
"Toadsworth , watch my kingdom for me, keep your cell phones on. I may need you two."
"For a what?" Luigi questioned.
'I'm going to save Raven"
