Chapter 17: The escape

Bowser sat on his throne. It had been a good week since they got back and Raven still hadn't woken up.
The doctor told him that he had put her into a medically induced coma so she would heal up.
He had said that she would be waking up some time tomorrow, but she still would not have full use of her wings.

Bowser Jr. climbed into his lap. He had gotten him checked out the second he got back. He seemed to be alright.
"Papa? Cookkoopa says Suppers ready. Oh! And Morton Jr. needs more metal to work with. He says that the stuff you gave him ran out in a day!"
Bowser chuckled. Unlike his namesake, Morton Jr. had found a great love in the Forge, creating beautiful pieces of armor and terrifyingly deadly weapons.
He was rather proud of his son and his hobbies. Then again, he was proud of ALL his children. He was glad that he was able to put them on the right track again after their mother had died.
Before that, they had been an unruly bunch of hooligans who wanted nothing more than to start wars and hurt people.
He stood up and let his son drag him to the Dining Room.

Raven awoke some time later flat on her back. They still would not allow her to leave the room other than to go to the bathroom.
She was basically an invalid right now, although she didn't understand why. Everything else worked, just not her wings. Most of her pain had gone too.
Raven snuck into the bathroom and stuffed the jars of Burn cream into her bag.
She began to sneak out of the room. She had to get back to the Mushroom kingdom. Even though she cared about Bowser, she knew everyone would be worried.

She needed to get home.

''So what you're a saying is that a Bowser kidnapped Raven. He hasn't issued any demands for her return and Raven doesn't seem to be harmed?" Luigi asked Daisy in shock as they stood around a campfire. They were just outside Daisy's castle.

Daisy nodded .
"Its like the weirdest thing. I know we already said she was in love with him. But ...How on earth can our sister have such bad taste in men?"

''Says the one who is dating Waluigi.'' Peach pointed out smoothing out the wrinkles in her dress.
"AT LEAST IM NOT DATING MARIO!" Daisy glared at her.
"Ladies, Ladies!" Luigi interjected. ''There's no need to fight.'' He was the one most upset by this, however. He had had his eye on Raven for a while.
As the group doused the fire and went inside, He decided something.
He was going to go rescue Raven by himself.

-
The airship had landed back in The Koopa Kingdom and Raven had a plan to escape. She was going to head up to the roof. Part one was in motion already as she was on said roof.
She used her Bungee jumping equipment and tied part of it to the roof before throwing the rest over the edge. It uncoiled down to the front door of the castle . However, she would have to jump a few feet down to the ground, unfortunately. Taking a deep breath, she began climbing downwards. Fuck having someone save her. She would save herself.
As she climbed, the heat radiating off the lava began to affect her. Her hands were starting to become sweaty and she slid down a little bit.
"Oh hell no."She muttered. This was not good. If she slid down to the bottom, her hands would have one serious case of rope burn and would be pretty much useless.
She had to move fast.
