The battle starts. A choice is made. A deathwill occur. Has Bowser made a mistake? How much blood will be shed on this tragic morning?
(WARNING: Starting here, the story is rated T for violence, blood, and minor language)
The castle was dark and motionless. The slaves…Koopas were all asleep in their small, cold cages. The King was enjoying slumber land from the comfort of his large, warm bed. The Toads stood, dead tired, guarding over the King's Throne Room. All was peaceful.
Whispering footsteps were barely heard from the courtyard. Kammy was hiding behind a large bush, giving the hidden army orders via her wand. Bowser and three other Koopas accompanied her.
This was their time. Bowser had chosen this very night to attack the castle. He knew that the King would never hand his sister over to him on a silver platter. He knew that he needed to fight for Brilette's safety. His troops were stationed all along the castle grounds, hidden from even him. They were suited in heavy black armor with dozens of smaller throwing hammers in their arsenal. Goombas, Lakitus, and Piranha Plants were ready to kill as well. Bowser was seen grinning.
This was going to be his finest hour.
The sun began to rise. Kammy knew that that was the signal. She whispered the attack strategy into her wand...
The King arose from his bed slowly, stretching his body as he always did. He descended to his bath room to shower. Serving Toads emerged from everywhere to do the King's biddings: making his bed, preparing his breakfast, readying the news scroll, waking his slaves.
However, this day seemed slightly different from the previous. Mak usually prepared his shower every morning, but today he was nowhere to be found. The shower was left untouched. Toadstool scratched his head, but didn't give his highest servant a second thought.
He started his own shower; cleaned, got out…something was out of place. He couldn't put his finger on it, but there was something out of the ordinary. He slowly stepped out of his bath room, wrapped in a towel, and back into his bedroom. Everything seemed normal enough…but there was something in the corner of his room next to his bed that wasn't there before. He ordered one of his Toad servants to check it out for him.
The Toad calmly walked over to the large, red-with-white-dots plant. He poked it with his spear, nothing happened. The Toad shrugged and began to walk away when he heard the King exclaim loudly. The Toad turned around to see nothing but the snapping jaws of a Piranha Plant! He was devoured in a matter of seconds.
Immediately after the Plant ate the Toad, the windows shattered, exposing dozens of Para Troops (Koopas and Goombas alike). Toads, completely off-guard, struggled to take out their spears and attack. They all ended up on the ground, dead, leaving the King standing alone, in his towel, scared for his life.
He ran back into his bath room and hid quietly. Koopas and Goombas walked in and inspected the room for any sign of their target. The King held his breath, desperately trying to not make a sound. The Throne Room door burst open and another small round of Toads emerged, spears in hand. A battle broke out right smack dab in the middle of the King's Throne Room, making Toadstool very nervous.
Meanwhile, outside, Toads were catching on to Bowser's plan. The entire Toad army suited up, grabbed their spears, and marched outside, ready for war. A Koopa looked at them, all lined up, through a pair of binoculars.
"Lord Bowser!" he called out. "They are lined up and ready for war. What are you orders?"
Bowser gave a grim smile. "Tell our men to attack immediately. We outnumber them a hundred to one."
Kammy shouted the orders into her wand, and soon, over the green hills of Mushroom Kingdom, an enormous army of Koopas, Goombas, Lakitus, and Piranha Plants emerged. The Toads starred in awe and horror. Their standing out on the battlefield was suicide.
The battle burst out in a matter of minutes. Koopas, Goombas, Toads…it was a very intense scene. Bowser wasn't watching the war, however. He was still hidden behind the bush, awaiting his Koopa Troops to return from the dungeon with Brilette. After a few short minutes, the Koopa returned. Bowser frowned.
"Where is Brilette?" he shouted. The Koopa cowered and stuttered, "She…she isn't with the rest of the slaves, my lord." Bowser's eyes widened at the news. What has the King done with her? Killed her? Did she run away? Bowser wanted Toadstool dead just by thinking about the outcome of his sister.
"HALT!" A voice cried out. Bowser stood up from his hiding place and starred at the sorce of the voice. It was Toadstool, standing on a podium in front of the castle, Brilette next to him. Bowser inhaled sharply.
"Brilette!" he cried. "Get away from him! He'll kill you!" The King starred at him, from the far end of the battlefield, and grinned.
"She doesn't fear me, do you, my dear?"
Brilette looked longingly at her brother, tears growing in her eyes. How could she tell Bowser, who wanted revenge on the King for so many years, that Toadstool was her husband? He began to sob. Bowser growled.
"Toadstool, let her go this instant!" he cried, tiny embers crawling out of his mouth. The King laughed.
"You want her blood for some potion, don't you?" he snickered. Kammy gasped. How did he know? The King grabbed Brilette by her long, red hair and pulled her head back. With his other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a long, sharp dagger. Bowser cried out.
"NO!"
The King showed no mercy, however, and slit Brilette's throat. Blood spewed down her face, staining her white dress, dripping onto the cold hard cement ground. Her body landed hard by her husband's feet. Bowser couldn't stop his tears from bursting out of his eyes, blurring his vision.
He roared in hurt and pain, spewing fire from his throat, making the Toads and even the King gasp in awe. Tears falling, he pointed at the King.
"ATTACK!"
This is NOT my best work at all. I'm kinda distracted, being Christmas and all, but next chapters will be better! Pinky promise!
