Changing History

Chapter 1 And the Winner is….

"Finally you little red capped nuisance, you will meet your defeat on this very platform" Bowser growled as Mario faced off against him on the round and tall battle platform surround by pits of lava so that the short plumber was sure to perish if he plummeted off the edge.

"I've a' beat you before, I'll a' beat you again" Mario accepted the challenge and flipped forwards once before landing and diving toward the unsuspecting koopa, punching him on the chin. Bowser stumbled back as Mario showed off with another flip backwards before he landed cleanly.

"AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Bowser roared with anger, "that was a cheap shot, it won't happen again!" Bowser explained as he charged Mario. Mario charged him as well but at the last second slid under Bowser's legs, Bowser almost ran off the edge but barely managed to stop himself. Bowser turned around and watched Mario laugh hysterically. "YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?!" Bowser yelled in rage. "For Years, FOR YEARS you've mocked the power of the great King Koopa. I should end your life right this second!"

"You try the same a' thing every time, what makes this time a' different?" Mario asked curiously. Bowser hissed and reached into his shell, pulling out a short but fat gun, barely big enough for his bulky hands. "What's a' that?" Mario asked nervously.

"My first son built it, I figured if there's any aspect that keeps me from beating you then it must be speed. You are at the pinnacle of your fitness, you're moves are flawless, you're jumps are perfect!" Bowser complained before getting interrupted.

"Why a' thank you" Mario thanked his nemesis with a smug grin.

Bowser growled out of annoyance before continuing his speech. "But me, I have weight holding me back whether it's my shell, muscles or just my enormous size cutting my agility to half of what it could be" Bowser pulled the gun up and pointed it towards the plumber. "I found a way to stop this advantage you have over me with this tiny gun, barely big enough to fit in the grasp of my royal paws. This beautiful creation will slow you down, my slow motion pistol!" Bowser laughed evilly as he pulled the trigger and watched a blue shockwave zoom towards Mario.

Mario stared in shock, the shockwave was too big and fast to dodge. Mario was hit but it just passed through him, he didn't feel a thing. "What a' shame it didn't work" Mario laughed at the misfortune of Bowser's weapon but then his laugh got slower and turned to panic. "Wwwhhhhhaaattttttt'ssssss a' hhhhhaaaaappppeeeennnnniiiiiinnnnnnggggggg ttttttooooooo mmmmmeeeeeeee???????" Mario asked slowly as he tried to jump but his feet moved so slow that they didn't kick off the ground for ten seconds.

"Bwah ha hahahaha!!!" Bowser laughed evilly as Mario float upwards in his jump pose.

"Llllloooooookkkkkk, IIIIIII'mmmm a' oooonnnnn tttthhhhhheeeee mmmmooooonnnnn, wwwooooo hhhhhoooooo" Mario cheered childish in a slow motion voice as he reached the height limit of his jump and finally started to drop. Mario looked down to see Bowser standing right where he would land. Obviously Bowser was ready to give him some punishment when he eventually touched the platform. Mario slowly dropped into a guard position ready to take the attack.

"READY YOU PEASANT!!!" Bowser shouted enjoying every second as Mario dropped towards him. Then Mario reached him, "TAKE THIS!!!" Bowser threw his strongest punch at his archenemy hitting him in the stomach but Mario didn't react or budge or anything then suddenly.

"OOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!" Mario reacted to the hit ten seconds late before plummeted slowly into the ground and bouncing up and into the floor again, landing a fair distance away from Bowser.

"Ahhahahahahaha, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen?" Bowser laughed hysterically as Mario very slowly picked himself back up and stood in a fighting stance again.

Bowser stomped forwards and Mario watched helplessly as the koopa king came closer and closer. Then Mario had a brain storm and he reached slowly into his pocket to pull out a star. Bowser starred in horror as Mario held the star in front of him. "NO!!!" Bowser yelled as he started sprinting, trying to reach Mario in attempt to stop him but the Italian plumber immediately absorbed it's power becoming invincible and therefore canceling out the slow motion effect.

Mario nimbly dodged Bowser's attack with a quick jump to the side before springing back towards him. Mario powerfully dropkicked the overgrown Koopa in the side of the stomach sending Bowser flying across to the other side of the battle platform and landing with a big bang and causing a small earthquake.

When Bowser landed Mario zoomed toward him and grabbed the slow motion device from his hand, He zapped it at himself and then threw it into the floor. The gun shattered to pieces and Mario kicked the particles into the lava pit below. By now the star's power had faded and Bowser had picked himself back up ready for another round.

"You destroyed my gun?!" Bowser moaned almost crying. "THAT'S IT MARIO!!! I WILL BEAT YOU THIS TIME!!!" Bowser threatened before blowing smoke from his nostrils and stomping forward.

Mario flipped back giving the two space in between each other. "How a' many times have I hear you said that a' line?" Mario giggled.

"This time I mean it!" Bowser roared and pounced in the air before trying to slam his enemy into the ground with his weight. Mario immediately rolled out of the way and hopped back up into a fighting stance again.

Bowser raged and shouted violently before breathing a huge gust of fire at Mario. Mario jumped up and Koopa aimed his fire toward him, Mario was burnt and thrown back to the edge of the platform as Bowser roared on the spot to showoff. After Bowser was done showing off he charging his weakened foe but Mario quickly rolled off the edge of the platform. Bowser tried to stop himself as he almost followed the pasta lover towards the lava. Bowser quickly regained his balance and stepped away from the edge with relieve.

"I've finally done it, that stupid plumber defeated himself?" Bowser said to himself in disappointment. Then took a glimpse at the edge to find a white gloved hand hold onto it barely. "Oh no you don't!" Bowser explained as he walked steadily towards the hand. "You're not getting away from your fate this time!" Bowser laughed enjoyable before he got to Mario and looked down to see a smug grin on his mustached face.

"I a' dare you to push me off!" Mario dared the giant reptile.

"Nobody dare's King Koopa…!? But what if it's a trap?" Bowser thought about it for a second. "I can't decide?" Bowser panicked.

"You a' scared Koopa?!" Mario taunted his foe.

"No!" Bowser replied quickly.

"Well a' what are you waiting for then?" Mario asked.

"Grrrrr!" Bowser growled as he swiftly booted Mario's hand off the side. Mario immediately pulled a plunger out of his overalls and stuck it to the wall before using it as a slingshot to spring himself back up to the platform and over Bowser. The koopa king starred in shock as Mario kicked the back of his shell with enough momentum to throw him off the side. "AH?!" Bowser yelled as he slipped and immediately grabbed the side to pull himself back up.

Bowser was panting from the energy he had used while Mario was fine so Mario used this to his advantage. He ran smoothly towards Bowser and slid swiftly under his legs when his fated foe tried to swipe him, the mustached hero smacked Koopa's right leg and he cried painfully as he tripped onto the floor. After a minute he eventually stopped mopping and lifted himself up again. He wiped his eyes of the tears and charged Mario one last time.

"Wahoo!" Mario cheered as he jumped over Bowser and grabbing his tail. Koopa quickly turned around only to see Mario grinning as if to say I've won. But it was true Mario pulled Bowser's tail back causing him to fall over then Mario done it again, he swung Bowser around and around and around and then let go. "So a' long Koopa" the plumber laughed as Bowser was sent flying off the edge of the battle platform and into Lava pit below, too far from the edge to grab it and pull himself back up.

"I'LL GET YOU PLUMBER JUST YOU WAIT!!!" Bowser threatened as he plummeted.

A star floated down into the middle platform and Mario quickly collected it opening a warp door in which he used to find and rescue the kidnapped princess Peach and go back to the Mushroom kingdom victorious.

10 minutes later after the battle and Mario's heroic rescue.

"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!" Bowser shouted in shear pain as he used all his strength or what was left of it to pull against his heavy weight back onto the battle platform. Eventually after a long struggle he managed to get to the top to take a long rest on the side of the platform.
