CHAPTER 40

8 Hours Remain…

Calamity Bowser's newfound creation has caused the tower to begin to crumble into rubble! Everyone previously in Ganon's throne room has landed in the ruins of what was Ganon's Tower. Fire surrounds the barrier. The sky has become dark, Bowser's hair and eyes lighting what's left of the Ganon's Tower like a dim artificial sun.

The heroes have all been knocked out from the fall. Ganon manages to pull himself out of some rubble. "Yes, Bowser! Let the Triforce of Power consume! Crush those insects! Then we shall rule over all that is left!"

The Triforce of Power glows brighter and Bowser's eyes glow even more intensely, smoke begins rising off of him.

"You are truly something else, aren't you, your Lordship?" Kammy says to him. "I have never seen you with such a terrifyingly amazing power before!"

"You are correct! Elderly one!" Ganon agrees. "With him by our side, and the Moon of Majora crashing down! We shall soon crush all the realms of this world!"

"Yes! Soon!" Kammy says.

"Hold on..." Calamity Bowser says in a thunderous voice. He picks up Ganon in one hand like he was an action figure.

Ganon begins to panic. "What? What is wrong?"

"Who said anything about me sharing power with you?!" Calamity Bowser growls. "I see now why you refused to allow me to have all of the Three-Force of Power. I remember, I remember everything. I remember the beast I became with only HALF of this power! I also remember you forcing out the Three-Force from my body! You knew something I didn't back then, you knew that "I" was more worthy of Three-Force of Power than you ever could be!"

Ganon is silent, so Calamity Bowser begins to crush Ganon in his palm like a stress toy.

"Please...stop…" Ganon asks as his words get weaker and weaker.

"Calamity Bowser, you are a force to be reckoned with," Kammy says, standing tall.

"Thank you, Kammy!" Calamity Bowser says. "I know at least you have always been loyal to me. Unlike this cruel bully I'm holding right now."

"Your Lordship, please!" Ganon begs. "You don't understand what you're doing!"

"Oh! Now you're calling me "Your Lordship"! " Calamity Bowser growls, "Whatever happened to "Big Oaf'', ''Idiot ``,''Pathetic Army"?! Now you respect me! Because you're afraid of what I'm capable of doing to you! Well I wish I could say I was sorry, Ganon, but you've been asking for this since we first met!"

"NO! NO!" Ganon screams. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH THIS POWER!"

"I think I do..." Bowser growls. He glances to Kammy

"Kammy, you should leave, I don't think your old heart will be able to take what is going to happen" Calamity Bowser says.

"Okay, when you're done destroying the world and need to decide who rules Sarasaland, don't forget who used to change your diapers!" Kammy says, waving her wand to teleport away.

"Wait!" Ganon says, realizing what is about to happen. "I changed my mind! I want to share the Triforce of Power with you again! Just promise to keep it under control! I'll even let you have half the Triforce of Wisdom and Courage as well! Please! I'll do anything you ask!"

"Anything?" Calamity Bowser asks.

"Yes, anything! Promise!" Ganon cries.

Calamity Bowser smiles evilly. "Very well, I promise to always keep you in my heart..." He lifts Ganon up in his hand, raising him to the sky. Ganon looks up to see the Moon of Majora, staring back at him.

"...Of course, as my wife Clawdia used to say" Calamity Bowser says. "The way to a man's heart...is through his stomach!"

He drops Ganon into his mouth, Ganon screaming all the while.

"AAAAAAHHH! AAAAHHHH! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAHHHHH! AAA-"

Ganon's scream is finally cut off by Calamity Bowser swallowing him whole.

"It's done! The Moon of Majora is falling!" Calamity Bowser shouts in triumph. "Soon the world will belong to me!"

Calamity Bowser looks to the Rainbow Alliance, strewed about the ruins, unconscious. He smiles at them, waving his hand in the air.

"You all shall pay for what you did to me!" Calamity Bowser exclaims. "With your lives!"

Calamity Bowser picks up Peach and holds her high above his head, dropping her into his mouth. Swallowing her whole.

"Mmmmm! Peachy!" Calamity Bowser laughs, his laugh is soon cut short, however.

"Mmmmmm!" Calamity Bowser continues to try and swallow. "MMMMM! MMMMMM! MMMMMMM! MMMMMMMM! MMMMM!"

He can no longer take it, a giant ray of light comes out from his mouth and Peach flies out of his mouth. She is wearing robes resembling that of a Hyrulian Goddess.

"Thanks, for letting me get close enough to your piece of the Triforce!" Peach says, revealing half of the Triforce of Power in her hand.

"What?!" Calamity Bowser yells, his eyes wide in shock. His dark aura begins to fade, his eyes become clear, the brightness of his hair dulls. He reverts to the size of Giga Bowser. He looks to his hand and sees he has only half the Triforce of Power again!

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Bowser howls in anger, "You will pay for this, Princess!"

"I am not a Princess," Peach says. "I am a Queen!"

Several balls of light fly out of Peach's hand and land in the bodies of the Rainbow Alliance, waking them all up. They're startled at being greeted to the sight of Giga Bowser, but they are all ready for combat!

"Well, well, well, look who decided to join us!" Daisy says, preparing to fire her Bob-omb Cannon at Giga Bowser.

"Hmph!" Giga Bowser snorts. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, after all, none of you could beat me on your own!"

"That's the point, Bowser!" Peach declares. "The state of the one ruler may be strong, but it is nothing against the will of the several Kingdoms aligned to create a world that can help them all!"

"Is that so?" Giga Bowser sneers. "Then I guess I'll have to kill you all myself to show just how powerful one ruler can be!"
