The Final Chapter

In Bowser's Dungeon . . . Mario was thinking of how to get out and rescue Peach. " Even if Bowser had a thousand troops at the wedding, I would still try to rescue Peach." Mario said to himself. Mario then heard some fighting in the upper floors of the dungeon. He looked at his jailer, which was a bahamutt, and said, " I hear some fighting going on. What's happening?" The dragon said, " Sounds alot like a break in. I guess whoever's breaking in is trying to rescue alot of prisoners. Well, I'll be ready for them." The dragon then inhaled as the noises got closer and closer. The dragon was almost done inhaling, but then the metal door that was the exit broke open with such amazing force that it was sent flying towards the baddie. It slammed into the baddie, instantly killing him. There, standing in the doorway, was Croco. " Croco! what are you doing here, and what is all that noise coming from?" said a very surprised Mario. " Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Croco said in his reptillian voice. " I'll explain the whole thing to you as soon as I get you out of here." Croco then took the key from the bahamutt's body, unlocked Mario's cell, and opened the door. Mario walked out, and followed Croco as he led the way out of the dungeon, seeing bunches of fallen enemies along the way. When he got out of the castle, and went 3/4 a mile away from the castle, he saw that Daisy, Luigi, Yoshi, and the others were safe, standing in front of a colossal army. In front of this army were Wario and Waluigi.

" Wario," Mario said to his rival, " Where were you, and how did you amass this giant army?" Wario explained every thing to him. " Wow! I didn't know that you had that many allies! Your plan about rescuing Peach is almost perfect, but I wonder now, who's the spy that has been informing you of the wedding and about me and the others being captured?" Wario was then a little nervous. " Uh, well, Mario, this spy is a person you and Daisy already met." " Well who is it?" " Well, uh, you have to see for yourself." Wario then told someone behind a colossal thwomp to come out, and from behind the thwomp, there appeared Tatanga. " Tatanga!" Mario and Daisy said as they saw their enemy walk towards them. " I can assure you he's on our side. There's also a slight change of plans because of some info he has given me. Tatanga, please explain everything." Wario said to the alien. " I'm truly against Bowser and his minions. You see, when Kamek and Kammy recruited me a year after Mario defeated me in Space Zone, I went to my former leader Wario to talk to him what to do. He told me to pretend to be their minion, and keep a close eye on what they're up to. In the years that followed, I couldn't contact Wario because I was busy recruiting minions for Bowser. If I didn't, Bowser's doom stars would've destroyed me. I really didn't recruit any minions at all. Instead, I used a wish granted by a mushroom genie to create bio-mechanical androids that I can dissolve into air with just an intense thought. I can also undo the damage they have done. I also created replicas of all the other minions so that I could trick Kamek and Kammy into believing they have recruited bunches of minions, but instead recruited nothing but replicas." " How do we know this is true?" Mario asked. " I'll prove it to you. Three Musty Fears, appear!" There appeared two greapers, two boos, and two dry bones. " Now tell me which trio is real, and which trio isn't." Mario picked the first trio. " You're wrong." Tatanga then closed his eyes, had a thought, and the first trio then dissolved into air. " Wow!" said Mario, " If you're speaking the truth, then let's go rescue Peach!" " Yeah, but this time, we'll just invade the chapel, instead of destroying it. Tatanga also informed me that because of the so-called 'allies', Bowser has sent all of his old minions to Mario Land Amusement Park to relax. The only real minions Bowser has in his castle right now are his children." " Say, what about Kent C. Koopa the Quick, Belome, K. Rool, Grunty, Rudy, Mad Scienstein, Kamek, Kammy, and Captain Syrup?" Mario asked. " Belome was never part of Bowser's army. He instead went to Kero Sewers for a month-long vacation. Kent C., after losing to you in the incident with the Mushroom Castle's power stars, has went back to living in Koopa Village long before you fought him near Toad Town. King K. Rool's just hiding somewhere. What is in the castle right now is just a replica. Grunty is still a head on the Isle of Hags. Rudy and Mad Scienstein were killed by Wario when he was chasing after your Megavitamins, Mario. As for Kamek, Kammy, and Captain Syrup, I disabled their weapons and captured them." Tatanga then went behind a large boulder, and pulled in a cart containing three cages, each holding Kammy, Kamek, and Captain Syrup. " Well, now you answered my question, lets-a go!" Mario said. " Wait! There is one more thing I have got to tell you! Once all my replicas are destroyed, I can't produce any more." Tatanga said. " Then everybody in Wario's army went towards Bowser's Castle.

Catherine felt strange. She looked at herself and the minions from her planet have something weird happening to them: they were becoming transparent! The only ones that weren't were Wario's army on Wario planet and the Mushroom World. " Stop!" She yelled. " Why am I and the army from my planet becoming transparent?" Wario then stepped in front of everybody. " Can I have a moment with Catherine and her army alone?" he asked. Everybody moved a half-mile away from Catherine's army. Wario then talked to Catherine. " I have a really big confession to make. Me and our army really didn't take over that planet eight years ago. Here's why. Several years ago, I asked that genie in the Amazon Cave to grant me a planet with replicas of the army I had when I invaded the Peaceful Woods, along with other creatures from far-off galaxies and stuff, for several years. When those years have passed, the planet and the army will disappear. I guess those years are being finished right now. I really don't know where my original army went when my plan failed. Sorry to say this to you, but bye bye." Wario then went towards Mario and the rest of the army to explain what's happening as the replica of Catherine, her minions, and that far- away planet disappeared.

Meanwhile in Bowser's Castle . . . The wedding is already almost over. The attendants, besides Bowser's so called 'minions', are his children (Bowser Jr. isn't there) and his mother (another character from he tv series). Bowser has already said " I do." and was waiting on Peach to say it, even though she says she isn't saying it until she sees Mario and the others safe. Bowser then heard some noise. Everyone looked at the the double doors. Bowser then looked at his minions and saw something terrible. All of them were dissolving into air! " What is going on here?" Bowser yelled in panic as he saw his whole new army disappear. The double doors then burst open, and there appeared Mario, Wario, and their army as they went through the doorway, surrounding everybody. " Mario, what have you done to my minions?" Bowser said. " I've done nothing, Bowser. The one who you should ask would have to be Tatanga." Tatanga stepped forward and said " I'm the one who destroyed all your minions, Bowser. If you ever wanted to know how I destroyed them, then listen to this." Tatanga then explained everything to Bowser. " Now do you give up?" Mario said. Bowser, furious, yelled, " Never!" and then grabbed Peach and, using the Star Rod, teleported to his throne room. " Oh no! Where did Bowser go to?" Mario said. Tatanga then said, " He might of went up to his throne room. I know the way. Follow me!" " Okay. Wario, Luigi, and Waluigi, come with me!" Tatanga led Mario, Wario, Luigi, and Waluigi directly to the throne room, where they saw Bowser sitting on the throne, with Peach, tied and blind-folded next to him. Bowser got up and charged towards the group. Everybody jumped out of the way. Tatanga then leaped into the air, and kicked Bowser in the face. The kick hardly affected Bowser, who then grabbed Tatanga and threw him against the wall, knocking the alien out. Mario and Luigi then tried jumping on Bowser's head, but Bowser breathed fire on both of them, causing them to propel so high that they hit the ceiling hard, knocking them both out. Bowser then breathed fire again to finish the two, but then Waluigi jumped in the way, being set on fire. He screamed and ran into a wall, knocking him out. All that was left was Wario. Bowser looked around, but couldn't see Wario. He heard a noise behind him, and looked to see Wario doing his dash attack. Bowser tried to move out of the way, but it was too late. Wario has hit Bowser, sending him flying into the wall, knocking him out. Wario then grabbed the Star Rod from Bowser, and made a wish to send Bowser to somewhere dangerous. Bowser was then teleported somewhere. He also made a wish to destroy his planet, but have his island on the planet be a few miles from those underwater ruins he entered while chasing Captain Syrup. Mario, Luigi, Waluigi, and Tatanga woke up. Wario handed Mario the Star Rod. Mario made a wish to restore Peace to the Mushroom World, and the wish has been granted. He untied Peach and took the blind-fold off of her eyes. " Mario, Luigi, you rescued me!" Peach said. Mario was about to explain who really saved the day, but Wario's army, the citizens of Monstro Town, and the others went charging through the doors. Peach then explained to them that it was Mario and Luigi who defeated Bowser. Wario and Waluigi, furious that their rivals have gotten all the credit, decked Mario and Luigi, knocking them both out, and then left the castle.
