Boss Battle #14: Ludwig and Junior

"Bwahaha! I've been waiting to use this!" Junior yelled, pulling out his paintbrush. Ludwig pulled out his wand.

"Time for some payback!" Amethyst said summoning her whip.

Ludwig shook his wand and he cloned himself twice.

Pearl summoned her spear and tried to attack Ludwig, but she couldn't find the real one.

Lapis and Peridot ran at Junior but the tip of the paintbrush turned light blue and he sprayed paint on the ground.

Peridot stepped in the paint and was shocked.

"AaAaAaAa!" She yelled. The green gem fell backwards and her body started smoking.

"Hey!" Lapis yelled. She summoned her wings and flew at Junior very fast, she picked him up and threw him at Ludwig.

"Woah!" Ludwig and Junior were flung into the wall. Ludwig's clones disappeared with the attack.

"Is Peridot okay?" Pearl asked.

"Yeah." Lapis replied.

"Get off, Junior!" Ludwig pushed him off and shot dark blue fireballs at the gems.

Garnet blocked some with her gauntlets and Lapis shot some with water.

Junior retreated in his shell and started spinning rapidly. Light blue paint was splattering everywhere.

"Watch out!" Lapis yelled. She flew over and picked Peridot up and shielded her from the electric paint.

The paint splattered all on the ground and walls.

"Be careful the paint electrocutes you." Lapis said flying.

"Good to know!" Amethyst said. She wrapped her whip around Ludwig and sent him into the electric paint on the wall.

Ludwig started convulsing very bad while electricity flowed through his body. "oOoOOOw!" He yelled.

"Lapis! Throw me at the little one!" Peridot said.

"You got it!" Lapis threw Peridot at Junior.

Peridot landed on Junior and stopped him from spinning. Junior popped out of his shell.

"Get off of me you dumb rock!" He yelled. Peridot quickly grabbed his paintbrush and snapped it in half. All the paint immediately disappeared.

Ludwig fell onto his stomach.

Junior pushed Peridot off and kicked her in the gut.

Amethyst wrapped her whip around him and pulled him in close to her. She quickly bubbled him and sent him to the temple.

Garnet walked over to an unconscious Ludwig and bubbled him.

"Yeah! We did it!" Amethyst celebrated.

"Good to have you back, Peri." Lapis flew over to Peridot and gave her a hug.

"You too." Peridot smiled and returned the hug.

"Alright, let's go find the others." Garnet said. The gems went over to the floor and went up.

The gems went up and they were in another big room.

"Hey, they're here." A voice said. They looked straight and saw the bros, Peach, Steven and Connie.

"What is this room?" Amethyst asked. The walls had a space pattern, with twinkling stars and nothing else in the room.

"We have no idea." Connie said. "We got up here and there was nothing."

"Hmm, this is weird." Pearl said rubbing her chin.

A familiar low chuckle could be heard.

"Hehehe, well, well, well. Looks like the gang is all here." Bowser and Moonstone walked through one part of the wall.

"No more running, Bowser." Peach said.

"Indeed, Princess." Moonstone said. "Running time is over."

"Yeah," Bowser spoke up. "Now it's time pummeling time." He cracked his knuckles.

Everyone got into a fighting stance.

Bowser and Moonstone looked at each other and nodded.

Moonstone was enveloped in a bright white light as her form shifted. When the light cleared, she had shape-shifted into Bowser, her gem appeared on her underbelly.

"Mama Mia!" Mario yelled.

Moonstone shot out a white stream of fire from her mouth, and Bowser did the same. Everyone jumped out of the way.

"Gwahahaha! This is gonna be fun!" Bowser laughed.
