Mario and Zelda: When Worlds Collide Chapter 3: Great Minds Think Alike

It was nighttime in the Koopa Kingdom, and it was also very hot since the Koopa Kingdom was surrounded by lava and volcanoes. Volcanoes were bubbling and lava was flowing by a familiar castle. This castle belonged to none other than the king of the Koopa tribe himself, Bowser Koopa.

Ganondorf opened the doors to the castle, revealing a long hallway with several rooms on each side. The castle was lit up with lanterns and giant gray statues of Bowser, as well as a red and gold carpet covering the floor.

In the throne room, Bowser was watching TV, showing the interview between Mario and Luigi with the Mushroom Kingdom News Station.

"Hmph! Those Mario Bros. always get all the attention!", said Bowser.

Meanwhile, a Hammer Bro was walking through the hallway of the castle with Bowser Jr. They were talking about the battle Mario and Luigi had recently won.

"And then I flew my own Koopa Clown Car and threw Bob-ombs at Mario and Luigi, while also spewing fire breath at them!", said Bowser Jr.

"Sounds like you did a good job in battle, despite that you lost.", said the Hammer Bro, whose name was Ivan.

"Thanks Ivan. To be honest with you, I don't feel bad that we lost.", said Bowser Jr.

"Why? You want to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, right?", asked Ivan.

"Well, it's just because Mario and Luigi are so cool! My Dad has told me that he's able to play sports and go on go-kart races with Mario and Luigi.", said Bowser Jr.

"I still don't like Mario or Luigi and I think they're our enemies!", said Bowser Jr.

All of a sudden, Bowser Jr. and Ivan bumped into someone. They looked up to see a tall man with green skin, a pointy nose, and red hair. It was none other than Ganondorf.

"Excuse me sir, who are you?", asked Bowser Jr.

"Why child, I am Ganondorf Dragmire. I come from the dimension of Hyrule.", said Ganondorf.

"You're from another dimension?", asked Ivan.

"Yes. I was sent here by an object known as the Dimensional Diamond.", said Ganondorf.

"Interesting story.", said Bowser Jr.

"If I may ask, have you seen a young lad with pointed ears and a green tunic, or a maiden wearing a purple dress with brown hair? They are my enemies, Link and the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.", asked Ganondorf.

"Nope. Haven't seen them.", said Bowser Jr.

"They must be somewhere in this world. Hopefully, wherever they are, they won't be able to stop me! If I may ask, where exactly am I?", asked Ganondorf.

"You're in the Koopa Kingdom, ruled by the nefarious Bowser Koopa.", said Ivan.

"Bowser is my father, and I'm his son Bowser Jr. This guy next to me is a Hammer Bro named Ivan.", said Bowser Jr.

"Nice to meet you both.", said Ganondorf. "Where is your father at young child?", asked Ganondorf.

"He's in the throne room of the castle, probably watching TV.", said Bowser Jr.

"TV? I've never heard of that, what is it?", asked Ganondorf.

"You don't have TV where you're from?", asked Bowser Jr.

"No. Is that like a play or something?", asked Ganondorf.

"Nope. It's a device that plays moving pictures known as videos.", said Bowser Jr.

"Interesting. Can you take me to your father?", asked Ganondorf.

"Sure.", said Bowser Jr.

Meanwhile, Bowser was pacing back and forth in the throne room of the castle of whether he should retailiate against the Mario Bros. or not. The throne room had a red carpet with statues of Bowser surrounding the throne chair. Torches were up on the walls and there were lanterns hanging from chandeliers.

"What should I do to retaliate?", Bowser thought to himself.

Just then, the throne room doors opened revealing Bowser Jr., Ivan, and Ganondorf.

"Dad! Some warlock is here to see you!", said Bowser Jr.

"Warlock, what warlock?", asked Bowser. Bowser then saw Ganondorf and stared at him as Ganondorf walked up to Bowser.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my castle?", asked Bowser.

"Forgive my intrusion, good sir. I am Ganondorf Dragmire.", said Ganondorf.

"He comes from a dimension called Hyrule.", said Bowser Jr.

"Interesting to hear Mr. Dragmire.", said Bowser.

"So, I heard your son was in a battle recently with two people named Mario and Luigi. Mind filling me in on who these people are and why you were fighting them?", asked Ganondorf.

"Yes. Mario and Luigi are the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. They always defeat my Koopa army whenever I try to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. They recently defeated me and my son in battle.", said Bowser.

"I can relate because I have two arch-nemesis. Their names are Link and Zelda, Link being the Champion of Hyrule, and Zelda being the princess of Hyrule.", said Ganondorf.

"Interesting. Hey, I just had an idea!", said Bowser.

"What is it Bowser?", asked Ganondorf.

"Me and you should team up since we're both evil geniuses with an arch-nemesis.", said Bowser.

"That would be a pleasure to work with you!", said Ganondorf.

"Question is, what do you have that can help me?", asked Bowser.

"Well, I have an unlimited supply of magical items at my disposal.", said Ganondorf.

"Do you think you'll be able to work with the Koopa army?", asked Bowser.

"I believe so.", said Ganondorf.
