Chapter 30: The Wrath of Rainbow Bowser
Toad shut his eyes when the bright light engulfed him. When it faded, Toad opened up his eyes and gasped in horror. Rainbow Bowser was now enormous with glowing white eyes, darker shades of color, and the Grand Star imbibed on his chest.
"What's with that face, little Toad? Too scared to admit defeat? Gwahahahaha! Time to put an end to your miserable life!" Rainbow Bowser said.
Rainbow Bowser raised his hand up, and prepared to crush Toad. However, some sort of force stopped him from doing so.
Rainbow Bowser tried to push his hand towards Toad, but it couldn't reach him, as Toad noticed that a bunch of stars appeared around him.
"The stars!" Toad said.
"What? But how?!" Rainbow Bowser said in shock.
Toad and Rainbow Bowser looked up and saw that Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and Toadette made it in and were floating thanks to the Power of the Stars.
"You made it, guys!" Toad said.
Rainbow Bowser was enraged by this.
"How did you break through? You know I only wanted Toad!" Rainbow Bowser said.
"Well, it turns out you were wrong to miss a few stars in the castle walls. The Star Power was so strong that it had no choice but to let us in!" Blue Toad said.
Blue Toad, Yellow Toad, and Toadette held out the Wing Cap, the Metal Cap, and the Vanish Cap.
"Toad, we also got the caps that we found over the adventure. Put on all three of them, and combined with the stars, you will be unstoppable!" Yellow Toad said.
"Good luck, Toadie!" Toadette said.
"Thanks, guys! You're the best! I couldn't have done this without you." Toad said.
Toad put on all three caps and the stars fused with him. He felt a pulse of really powerful energy surging through him.
Toad received a transformation. His cap turned white, with the spots becoming Power Stars. His eyes turned red and his vest turned yellow. Toad became Super Toad! His friends also gained golden super shields surrounding them with a weaker, but still effective power. Super Toad looked at himself in awe and turned back to his friends.
"Let's go!" Super Toad said.
They all nodded. Rainbow Bowser got angry and knocked them far away with his claws. But thanks to the star power, it didn't hurt them at all. Super Toad and friends used their flight power to charge towards Bowser. As they did, Super Toad heard a voice inside his head.
"Can you hear me, Toad?" Peach said.
"Yes, I can! Are you okay?" Super Toad said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Listen, the grand star on Bowser's chest gave him power. So it must be his weakness. Now aim for it!" Peach said.
"Got it!" Super Toad said. "Alright, everyone! Aim for the star on his chest!"
They nodded. Rainbow Bowser began to throw the bombs that Toad would previously throw Bowser at.
Super Toad and friends used quick reflexes to dodge them. Rainbow Bowser started to breathe fire at them. Ending with a blast that would be impossible to dodge if it weren't for Super Toad and the others turning invisible.
"Gwahahahaha! They're dead!" Rainbow Bowser laughed.
Super Toad and the company reappeared in front of his chest with the Grand Star.
"I would not get so cocky if I were you, Bowser!" Super Toad said.
They all punched him in the Grand Star.
"It's working! Bowser's power is weakening!" Peach said.
"We just gotta keep at it!" Super Toad said.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Rainbow Bowser said.
Rainbow Bowser shot out multiple beams of rainbow fire at Super Toad and the company. After getting knocked back, Yellow Toad, Toadette, and Blue Toad slingshotted Super Toad right at Rainbow Bowser's chest, it was too fast for him to react.
The Grand Star on Rainbow Bowser's chest began to charge up a blast. Super Toad and company also began to charge up as Super Toad started spinning around like a tornado and his Toad friends revolving around him. Rainbow Bowser fired a rainbow blast as the super quartet charged right through it. Once Super Toad reaches the Grand Star, he hit it real hard with his golden fist, shattering it.
Rainbow Bowser turned back into normal Bowser, as did Super Toad to just plain normal Toad.
Bowser groaned. "You've really beaten me this time, Toad. I just can't stand losing to the likes of you!"
"Well, that's what you get for misusing the power of the stars. It's meant to be used for good, not evil!" Toad said.
"My troops are worthless! They turned over all of these stars to you! And there were even ones I missed! Just how did I miss them? How?! Now I see peace returning to the world...and it makes me sick! Just you wait until next time, Toad! Next time, I'll defeat you once and for all!" Bowser said. "Until then, keep that control stick smokin'! Bwahahahaha!" Bowser then vanished into thin air, leaving behind the Grand Star.
Super Toad and the company celebrated for a moment before picking up the Grand Star. Everyone spawned wings on their heads and flew away.
