The Lesson
By SelenityK
AN: I hope that you took a little enjoyment out of Chapter One, because here's Chapter Two. These characters aren't mine, they're Nintendo's. I'm just borrowing them for the duration of this story.
Peach parked her van next to the black gates of Vista Hill. The sky over here had black and grey clouds flitting slowly across it. The sky reflected Peach's current mood: dark and black.
Peach went up to the castle gates. Two Koopa Troop guards stood outside of the gates.
One of the guards stepped forward. "Halt! State your business here!' the guard barked.
Peach ignored the Koopa's demand. She reached inside of her bag, pulled out a long metal pole, and clobbered both of the guards over the head. The Koopas fell to the ground, unconscious. Peach shimmied over the gates and went up the hill, to Bowser's Keep proper.
As before, two Koopa Troops stood in front of the doors. Peach did not give these guards enough time to speak. She clubbed them in various places of their anatomy until they crumpled over in pain. Peach let herself into the castle. Whenever Peach met up with a Koopa Troop, she would beat them with the metal pole.

Bowser had received news of this commotion from one of the Koopa Troop who had barely managed to escape Peach's rampage. Curious, Bowser decided that he would meet this trouble-maker. He would then throw the trouble maker into the darkest dungeons, where the creatures would chew the flesh from his bones. Bowser smiled at the thought. He walked around the castle until he came face to face with the menace.
"So you're the one who's going around my castle, bludgeoning my troops?* Bowser said. "Reveal yourself!' Bowser's thunderous voice echoed through the hallway.
Bowser watched as the person removed the hood. By Morton, it was Peach, but she seemed different somehow. Peach smiled. It was one that Bowser did not like at all. It made him nervous.
"Good morning, Bowser," Peach said, her voice both icy and calm at the same time. "I've come to kidnap you."
Bowser laughed, the sound of his voice ringing throughout the cavernous hallways.
"You, kidnap ME?!" Bowser continued to laugh. His sides were beginning to ache. "Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?"
"Not anymore!" Peach hissed. "Now get into these handcuffs, or do I have to force you?"
Bowser gazed at Peach, his cold red eyes challenging her. That bimbo wouldn't dare cuff him! Bowser didn't move a centimeter.
"I warned you!" Peach sucker-punched Bowser in the jaw a few times, then landed some drop kicks on his rough belly. Bowser tired to grab Peach's hair with his claws, but because of his size, he was much too slow. Peach pole-vaulted and gave Bowser a powerful kick to the forehead. The giant collapsed to the floor, too exhausted to fight back.
Peach handcuffed Bowser, gagged him, and blind folded him. Since Peach obviously could not lift Bowser, she had to drag him down the halls. The Castle Staff saw Bowser shamed in this way. Some huddled together, pointed and whispered, no doubt laughing silently at Bowser. The other staff were purely terrified of Peach. It wasn't every day that someone, especially a woman like Peach, would tie and gag King Bowser.
We must not forget what poor Bowser suffered. Bowser groaned inwardly. How in the hell could he allow Peach to treat him this way. Bowser was utterly, totally humiliated. Bowser was not sure to return to the Koopa Kingdom if he survived this thing. Word about his capture would spread throughout the Kingdom, and mere commoners would laugh at him and challenge his power, just because he was kidnapped by Weak Peach.
Peach finally made it outside of the castle. She opened the back of the van. Peach had to pull Bowser in horn first, he was so heavy. The van sank with the added pressure.
Peach securely locked the back of the van. She couldn't have Bowser trying to escape. Bowser deserved everything that was about to happen to him. Peach went to the front of the van and started the engine. The van was much slower in traffic, due to the cargo it carried in back. Peach thought a little bit while she was driving. There was one more Person who treated Peach like a weaker vessel: Mario. Luigi didn't count, he had never come to rescue her anyway.
Bowser shuddered when he heard Peach's evil laughter. He felt sorry for the person who was a part of Peach's plan, but he felt even sorrier for himself.
