At Bowser's Castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. All of Bowser's minions were in the theater for the castle with a Koopa Troopa standing on stage with a microphone.
"Testing, testing." He said. "Okay, so we all know how Lord Bowser disappeared, along with Junior, Kamek and all the koopalings, right?" He said.
The audience all said yes.
"Well, he has reached out to me recently. To tell me, that he and everyone is fine. He ended up in another world, far different than ours. His plan is to take over this new world, with our help." He explained.
"How?" A Boo in the front row asked.
"Good question, how does he plan too? Well, he is making the koopalings get fuel for a cannon. That will open a portal, right behind where I'm standing, and we will enter this new world and take over." He said.
"What about the Mario Brothers? They disappeared from Peaches castle too!" A Goomba yelled.
"Bowser said has taken care of them. He and his new Ally." Koopa said.
"Who is it?" A Bob-omb yelled.
"Someone from space. That's all he told me." He said.
"But, why is Bowser working with someone anyways? He betrayed that Antasma on P'illo Island." Another Koopa said.
"I have no idea. Anyways, Bowser said that he needs all minions on deck. Koopa's, Goombas, Dry-Bones, Boos, Paratroopas, Paragoombas, Hammer Bros, Sledge Bros, EVERYONE!" Koopa yelled.
The minions cheered.
"Who wants to help Bowser take over?!"
"WE DO!" The minions all yelled.
The castle was filled with cheers.
A small bug with cameras for eyes was flying in the corner of the room, spying on them.

In the Peach's Castle meeting room, the feed was playing out on the screen. The screen turned off and the lights came back on.
Professor E. Gadd, Toadsworth, Toadbert, and Dr. Toadley were all in the room.
"*gasp* So, they're all going to Bowser?" Dr. Toadley said.
"Hm, it seems so." E. Gadd said rubbing his chin.
"I say Professor, you better get to work on that portal gun of yours! And fast!" Toadsworth said.
"Don't worry, Toadsworth, with my smarts, and Dr. Toadleys crystal ball! I'll have it done in no time!" E. Gadd laughed.
"How is a ball gonna help, by boogity?" Toadbert asked.
"It will help us see how the portal transported them there in the first place! And help us decrypt the exact way to open the portal to the exact location Mario, Luigi, and the princess went." E. Gadd explained pushing his glasses up on his face.
"Let's not dilly-dally professor, off to my office." Dr. Toadley got up from the meeting table and walked out.
"See you in a bit Toadsworth, and Toadbert. I'll get the portal gun done in a jiffy!" E. Gadd said as he left behind Dr. Toadley.
"Oh Toadbert," Toadsworth sighed. "My dear, princess, trapped and lost in another dimension!"
"It's okay, old-timer. Soon E. Gadd will come and we can go look for her." Toadbert said. Placing an arm around the old toad.
"I sure hope so. Would you care to stay for some tea?" Toadsworth asked.
"Eh, why not." Toadbert said.
The two toads walked out of the room.

"Hey!" Steven yelled. The strange koopa with a green shell was sitting in the middle of the village eating bits of watermelon off the ground, it was Iggy.
"Hm?!" Iggy spat out his mouth full of watermelon. "What are you doing here?!"
"Here to stop you!" Connie said.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Iggy got up and ran in the direction of his castle.
"We have to catch him!" Amethyst said. The trio started running after him.

"My, my! You guys have been through a lot!" King Bob-omb said. Roy had filled him in on everything that's happened.
"I know, now I just need to wait for this thing to fill up, and send it to Bowser's castle." Roy explained, pointing to the test tube.
"I'll be glad to help you and old Bowser out in your conquest!" King Bob-omb said.
"That's great! Welcome aboard!" Roy said as he King Bob-omb shook hands. "I'll call Bowser to tell him that you're on board."
"Excellent!" King Bob-omb said.

Outside of the castle, Garnet was holding up Mario on her shoulders to look through the castle window.
"Who's in there?" Garnet whispered.
"It's Roy, and another big enemy of me and my brother. Let me down." Mario said. Garnet set Mario down.
"Who else was in there?" Garnet asked.
"This one is bad news, King Bob-omb, he's pretty much a living, walking, and talking bomb. He can spawn miniature enemies called Bob-ombs." Mario explained.
"Sounds pretty dangerous." Garnet said.
"Yeah, we can't risk him blowing up, if he starts smoking and flashing orange, we have to get out of there fast, alright?" Mario said.
"Got it." Garnet said. Mario and Garnet walked around to the front door of the castle.

Roy was about to call Bowser's Castle, but the door was punched open.
"Huh?!" Roy said.
"It's Mario!" King Bob-omb yelled.
"You stupid plumber, you always have to show up and crash Bowser's plans huh?" Roy asked.
Garnet summoned her gauntlets.
"When his plan includes hurting the planet and my friends, then yes." Garnet said getting into a fighting stance.
"You will not interfere with their plan." King Bob-omb said, stepping forward.
"I've beaten you before Bob-omb, you to Roy, now makes no different!" Mario said, getting into a fighting stance.
"We'll see about that." Roy said, pulling out his magic wand.
Roy and King Bob-omb got in fighting stances.
Boss Fight #10: Roy and King Bob-omb"Take this!" Roy shot a bullet bill out of his wand at Mario. Mario shot a fireball at it and the bullet bill exploded.
"Grrrr" Roy growled. King Bob-omb spawned in a Bob-omb in his hands and threw it at Garnet.
"Woah!" Garnet yelled. She punched the bomb back and it hit Roy.
"Ow!" He yelled. He retreated in his shell and began spinning towards Garnet and Mario.
Before Roy could hit them Garnet stomped on his shell, holding him in place with her foot. Roy popped out.
"You stupid gem!" Roy yelled. Roy pointed his wand up to Garnet amd shot a bullet bill right at her.
The blast shot the fusion right into the ceiling.
"Garnet!" Mario yelled. Roy shot a bullet bill at Mario.
"Mama Mia!" Mario immediately pulled out his hammer and hit it back at Roy.
"Oh no.." Roy gulped. The blast shot him back into a button next to the test tube. The test tube teleported to Bowser's Castle.
"Roy!" King Bob-omb yelled.
"Ow! My shell!" Roy said getting up and rubbing his shell.
"You'll pay for that!" King Bob-omb yelled. He spawned two bob-ombs in his hand and chucked them at Mario.
Mario hit both of them back, both of them hitting King Bob-omb. Garnet landed from the ceiling, next to Mario.
"Oh!" King Bob-omb yelled. "You're really starting to work my nerves!" He stomped his feet into the ground.
"Uh-oh..." Mario said.
"Calm down, Bob-omb. We'll finish them." Roy said backing up a little bit. King Bob-omb stepped in front of Roy.
"No, I'LL finish them." He narrowed his eyes and started smoking.
"Garnet, do something!" Mario yelled. Garnet thought of something.
She launched her Gauntlets at King Bob-omb and smashed him into Roy.
"MMPH!" Roy yelled. King Bob-omb was up against the wall, smashing Roy behind him.
"Run!" Mario yelled. He and Garnet ran out and hid behind a nearby tree.
"That PLUMBER!" King Bob-omb yelled. The King started smoking more and flashing orange. "He makes me so mad... I could just...just...JUST!"
"Oh no..." Roy's muffled voice said.
King Bob-omb exploded.
Mario and Garnet saw a large amount of black smoke come from the castle and went in.
They saw Roy against the wall, sunglasses crooked and eyes really wide. He coughed and black smoke came out.
Garnet smirked. She went over and bubbled Roy and sent him to the temple.
"Great work, Garnet!" Mario smiled. "We make a good team, huh?"
"Heh, yeah." Garnet smiled. "Now let's go beat our last one."
"Let's-a go!" Mario cheered. He and Garnet walked out of the castle.

Roy appeared in the temple. "Ow..." Roy looked around and saw Morton and Lemmy. "Guys!"
"Woah, what happened to you?" Morton asked.
"It's a long story." Roy said.

"Geez...*pant* where...*pant* is his castle?" Connie said panting.
"There!" Amethyst yelled. Saw Iggy run into his castle.

Iggy ran over and teleported his test tube to Bowser's Castle.
"Whew!" Iggy wiped swear off of his forehead. "Ah!" He yelled. He saw the trio run into his castle.
"Will you stop running away?!" Steven yelled.
"Will you stop chasing me?!" Iggy yelled in frustration.
"No way! You ruined the island!" Steven yelled.
"There's nothing we can do about it now!" Iggy laughed.
"Oh, yes there is." Amethyst said as she summoned her whip. Connie unsheathed her sword.
Connie, Steven and Amethyst got into a fighting stance.
Iggy pulled out his wand and got into a fighting stance.
Boss Fight #11: IggyIggy waved his magic wand and a small Chain Chomp appeared.
"Ah!" Steven yelled.
"What is that?" Amethyst asked.
"One of those almost ate us in the beta kindergarten." Connie said.
"Sick'em girl!" Iggy yelled pointing at the trio. The Chain Chomp barked and hopped towards them.
"Woah!" Amethyst moved out of the way of the sharp teeth. Steven summoned his shield and threw it in Chain Chomps mouth.
Chain Chomp bit and growled as she chewed on the shield like a toy.
"Quick, while it's distracted, get him!" Steven yelled.
"Uh uh!" Iggy yelled. He shot green fireballs at the trio.
Connie jumped in front and blocked them with her sword.
Amethyst wrapped her whip around Iggy, making him fall. He whistled.
Chain Chomp bit the shield all the way through and it disappeared. She lunged and bit Amethysts whip and her whip disappeared.
"Haha!" Iggy laughed. He went into his shell and slammed into Amethyst into the wall.
"Amethyst!" Steven yelled.
Chain Chomp head-butted Steven in the side, making him fall over.
Iggy popped out of his shell. And laughed again.
"Get him, girl!" Iggy yelled. Chain Chomp lunged at Steven who was still down.
Before Chain Chomp got to Steven her chain pulled her back. Chain Chomp turned and saw a pink sword in her chain, holding her in place.
She lunged at Connie too, but her Chain stopped her and she yelped.
"Hey!" Iggy yelled. "That's cheating!"
Steven got up and threw his shield at Iggy.
"Ow!" Iggy yelled as the shield hit him in the face. He dropped his wand on the floor.
Amethyst summoned her whip and pulled the wand to her. She snapped it in half.
"My wand!" Iggy yelled. Chain Chomp then disappeared in a smoke cloud.
"Launch me, Amethyst!" Steven yelled. Amethyst wrapped her whip around Steven and threw him at Iggy. Steven punched Iggy into the wall.
Iggy slouched over in defeat.
Amethyst walked over to Iggy and bubbled him.
"We did it!" Connie yelled.
"Yeah!" Amethyst said. She noticed Steven still looking down. "What's wrong buddy?"
"I'm still sad about the watermelon stevens!" Steven said.
"We can still save them. C'mon there's still watermelon everywhere back at where the village was." Connie said. She grabbed her blade from the ground and the trio walked out of the castle.

"That only leaves Wendy and Larry." Bowser said looking at the test tube rack.
"Kamek said that the cannon is in perfect condition." Moonstone said.
"Let's go get it ready." Bowser replied.
He and Moonstone went into Ludwig's room and saw Lapis, Junior, Ludwig, and Kamek staring at the cannon in awe.
"Junior." Bowser said.
"Yes, papa?" Junior ran over to Bowser.
"Go in my room and call Koopa, alright?" Bowser said.
"Yes sir!" Junior saluted and ran out of the room.
"Now, let's get this baby out." Bowser said.
