Changing History
Chapter 7: Changing History
"It's time!" Bowser explained as he stopped by the open drawbridge of the mushroom castle. Bowser sighed and walked in with his younger half and the army following him closely, they marched into the courtyard. The Mushroom people stared in shock for a second and then started running franticly. "SEIZE THEM!!!" both the Bowsers shouted together. They looked at each other weirdly for a second while all the soldiers captured the helpless victims. After a short while the prisoners were caught and set in front of the younger Bowser.
"KAMEK! Do your magic!" the teenage Bowser ordered with an evilly laugh at the end.
"Yes sire!" Kamek quickly zapped his wand at the line of shrooms turning them to solid rock.
"Perfect, now I shall claim my new kingdom and when the princess comes back. I'm gonna…? I dunno what should I do with her?" the young Bowser wondered.
"Three, two, one!" Bowser growled as he counted the seconds down, after one a short, young, red capped human with a short mustache jumped around the corner and into the courtyard with his green suited little but taller brother following.
"Who are them weaklings?!" the young king asked, wanting to laugh.
"They are…? AH!" the princess stepped into the courtyard dramatically and was gonna answer when she noticed the older king Koopa.
"Mario and his little brother Luigi!" Bowser growled nervously. He remembered this day too well, the day everything changed. He remember the first hit Mario landed under his chin, he could still feel it. He rubbed the itch away.
"Two king Koopas?" Princess Toadstool asked in shock. The evolved koopas looked at each other.
"I'm more handsome though?" the teenage Bowser showed off.
"So you're gonna turn ugly when your older!" Bowser yelled back, annoyed.
"I didn't say you're ugly!" the young Bowser argued back. The argument went silent coz it was getting weird.
"Um…? Well these are the Super Mario Brothers, I brought them from the real world!" Toadstool explained.
"Whatever, they don't look super to me?!" the young king replied getting annoyed.
"These super plumbers are gonna kick your sorry ass!" the princess stated.
"What's a plumber?" the teenage king asked.
"Not this time princess!" Bowser growled, "I'm here to change that!" Bowser explained and laughed insanely and stopped suddenly, "Well..?!" Bowser groaned, looking at his younger half. The teenager looked back in confusion, "ORDER THE ATTACK!!!" Bowser shouted, annoyed again.
"Oh…? SOLDIERS ATTACK THE PLUMBERS!!!" the young Bowser ordered loudly and the soldiers charged forward.
"Let's a' go Luigi" Mario said excitedly as he twitched his mustache.
"Oh please, they're Italian?" the young king laughed hilariously. Mario and Luigi pulled fire flowers out of their pockets and held them in front of the koopa army. "What can you do with a measly fire flower?!" the young Bowser laughed while Bowser went nervous. The Mario brother absorbed the flowers, they flashed for a second and they're clothes changed color slightly. "How did you do that?" the young king asked in shock, at the same time confused.
"They're from the other dimension so normal everyday things to us are super charges to them! Don't be lazy for one second!" Bowser explained clearly.
The koopa troopa were the first to confront the Marios, Mario made the first move and jumped up and onto one of the koopas, shoving it out of its green shell where Luigi finished it with a fireball. Then Mario bounced off the shell and landed unsteady, he quickly balanced himself though and kicked the empty koopa shell at the army. All the other koopa troopas dived in their shells to avoid getting hurt but the spinning shell hit them like a pinball causing them to bounce in different directions around the courtyard, finishing the whole army off except one.
Kamek stood in front of them. "He looks a' scary?" Luigi shook for a second.
"Don't a' be scared Luigi, he's only a magic, wizard, koopa thing?" Mario guessed before Kamek held his wand in the air and charged up a ball of magic. "With a giant glowing a' magic ball! Run Luigi?!" Mario explained as he and his brother ran the other way. Kamek teleported in front of them to stop their escape though, then Mario got an idea. Mario held his hand up and shot a fireball into the ball of energy.
"NO!!! YOU FOOL!!! Now it'll explode?!" Kamek panicked, there was nothing he could do but get hit. Kamek sighed as he was caught in the blast while the brothers ran the other way but the ball of energy expanded too much and got them.
BANG!!!
There was an earthquake and lots of smoke. When the smoke cleared there stood Mario and Luigi almost completely fine while Kamek laid in defeat. "Hey a' Mario? I'm fine but I'm not super anymore?" Luigi explained curiously.
"Our a' super powers must have protected us from the blast?" Mario figured, just as confused, they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "Where a' is the princess?" Mario asked confused as he looked in the directions.
"King a' Koopa isn't here either? Koopa must have a' taken her in that castle?" Luigi replied unsure. Mario shrugged his shoulders again.
"Only one a' way to find out?" Mario explained as he sprinted through the courtyard.
"Wait for a' me?" Luigi moaned as he ran after his older brother. Quickly they rushed in the castle and forward into the throne room where the teenage Bowser held the princess and the older one stood ready to fight.
The room was silent for a minute as the Mario Brothers walked forward slowly. Bowser let out a silent growl and Luigi hopped back scared. "Mario!" Bowser growled angrily. "I want to fight you and only you!"
Mario stepped forward to face his life long nemesis. "Mario, you sure that's a' wise?" Luigi asked in concern.
"Not a' really, but something inside is wanting me fight? Like destiny?" Mario answered unsurely.
Bowser exhaled fire in the air while Mario shook nervously then Bowser stomped forward while the plumber stepped back. "You scared!" Bowser asked curiously.
"No!" Mario replied strongly.
"Attack me then!" Bowser urged the Italian, Mario stood there frozen. "ATTACK ME!!!" Bowser shouted then Mario charged him suddenly. The plumber almost reached underneath him before he jumped up and attempted to upper cut the Koopa under the chin. Bowser stepped back and Mario missed then Bowser grabbed the red capped hero in midair and laughed. "The first move you ever hit me with?" Bowser reminisced. "Shame it didn't work?" Bowser teased him, "I though this would be harder to accomplish, beating my nemesis?" Bowser looked at the panicking Mario curiously then Bowser threw him into the ground.
BANG!!!
Mario hit off the floor and rolled over to the far side of the room where Luigi grabbed him and held his head up. "Mario are you alright?" Luigi sobbed, Mario coughed out some blood. Luigi laid Mario down and faced the king. "You hurt my a' brother!" Luigi yelled out almost crying.
"You mean he's not dead?" Bowser asked in shock that the little puny human survived. Luigi held out a fist and went into a fighting stance. "Oh please, you can't win!" Bowser explained plainly.
"Luigi, don't a' fight him!" Mario spoke painfully as he picked himself back up and stumbled.
"Mario lay down and rest, you're a' hurt?" Luigi replied in concern.
"Luigi, you heard the a' Koopa, me and him have got a history together and I just know I can a' beat him! Trust me!" Mario explained with faith as he stumbled in front of Luigi. "You ready Koopa!" Mario asked.
"Yes!" Bowser growled anxiously.
Mario pulled a star out his pocket and absorbed the power becoming invincible. He automatically burst with energy and ran at Bowser. Bowser tried grabbing him again but Mario slip under his legs and pulled on his tail. Bowser fell forward and Mario grabbed his tail tightly. Bowser roared furiously, "NOT A THIRD TIME PLUMBER!!!" Bowser swayed his tail left and right until Mario let go and then he got up again. He wasn't going to allow Mario to use the same technique a third time on him. The pasta lover shuffled back and sprinted towards Bowser again, then jumped dropkicking king Koopa in the stomach. Bowser was sent backwards on his shell while Mario jumped up again before back flipping onto the king's belly, winding him.
Bowser rolled back up after he'd recovered and notice that his arch enemy wasn't super anymore. Mario was tired and bruised up like before. "Oh no…?" Mario panicked as Bowser stepped closer and closer, his eyes glowed red making the plumber freeze in fear.
"You're finished!" Bowser explained as he swiftly grabbed the plumber's throat and lifted him in the air. Bowser raised him claw and a tear dripped out his eyes. The tear was for his family, as soon as he finished Mario off they were gone forever? Bowser looked deep into Mario's eyes and saw his fear. He looked away for a second, 'come on Mario, do something?' Bowser thought. He actually wanted Mario to beat him. 'Come on you always find a way out of jams?' Bowser carried on thinking not saying a thing. Bowser expected too much from the young plumber.
"FINISH HIM!!!" Bowser young counterpart shouted impatiently.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Bowser roared loudly as he punched his claws straight through the plumber's stomach. Mario's eyes went blank and his arms and legs hung down motionlessly. A drop of the plumber's blood dripped off the tip of Bowser's claw and onto the cold floor.
"MARIO!!!" Luigi and the princess cried while the young Bowser laughed with joy for the victory. Bowser pulled his bloody claw out of the gaping hole in his lifeless foe's stomach and dropped him on the ground. Bowser was speechless.
Suddenly Mario's motionless body started to glow a strong bright light. "What's happening?" Bowser asked, fearing the worst possible outcome. The light eventually got too much for the Koopa king to handle and he blacked out.
