A loud crash woke Bowser Jr. up with a start.
"What the Bonechill wasthat?!" He shouted.
He got out his bed and went outside. At least 5 brown-scale Koopa Troopas were running around knocking things over.
"What the..." He muttered before running to his father's room.
"Papa! PAPA!" He shouted.
Bowser made a low growl of annoyance before asking, "What is it, Junior?"
"There's a whole bunch of brown-scale Koopa Troopas trashing the place!" Junior exclaimed.
"I'll sort 'em out." Bowser growled, and got out of his bed. He stomped over to the Koopa Troopas and yelled, "Settle down, ya bunch of troublemakers!"
The Koopa Troopas ignored him entirely, continuing to demolish the room.
"LISTEN TO ME, YOU BAG OF BONEHEADS!" He roared.
The Kooplings looked outside, and Kamek had wandered up.
"What the Bonechill..." Larry said, trailing off.
"Daddyyyyyy, why you gotta be so louuuuuuuud? I was sleepin' quite comfortably there." Lemmy moaned.
"Well it's not my fault they won't listen to me." Bowser replied.
"Maybe we should go for a nice, relaxing,walk outside." Kamek suggested.
Bowser snorted a flame out of his nostril and said, "Fine."
He picked up Bowser Junior and Lemmy, and Kamek got on his broom.
"Let's go." He huffed, and led them all outside.
The Koopa family wandered outside.
"Those skullbags are gonna trash the whole place, I reckon." Bowser Junior grumbled.
"They better not." Wendy replied.
The brown-scale Koopa Troopas that were destroying the room in the castle ran past the family, seemingly excited to something... or someone.
"What's their deal?" Roy asked, annoyed by their presence.
Suddenly, Kamek let out a loud squawk.
"I-it can't be...!" He stammered.
"Can't be what?" Bowser asked, "Seriously, it's not thatbad, is it?"
"It isthat bad!"
Standing on a ledge was a figure that resembled Dry Bowser, but a bit thinner, and with flesh.
"King Rexebris!" One of the brown-scale Koopa Troopas shouted in glee.
"Yes, it's me." The figure, presumably Rexebris, replied.
"Rexebris?!" Lemmy shouted. "Kamek, you told me it would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever everhappen again!"
"It was highly unlikely!" Kamkek replied.
"Highly unlikely doesn't mean itwon't happen!"
"Cut it out, you two." Bowser growled.
Rexebris came down from the ledge. "I see you already know my name." He said with a smirk on his face.
"Enough with the smirking already, big shot, just tell us why you're here." Bowser snapped.
"I'm here because I'm going to take over the Darklands. Starting with you, of course." Rexebris replied.
"Oh really." Bowser growled.
"Really." Rexebris said. "Of course, my army hasn't been completelyrebuilt yet, but it'll be up and running in no time."
"Even if you attack, we've got an army that's waystronger than yours will ever be!" Bowser Junior shouted.
Rexebris laughed. "You're funny, Bowser Junior."
"HUH?! How do you know my name?!" Junior exclaimed.
"Let's just say that Uncle Drygot returned to his original state. Oh, only after about 1000 odd years."
"So youwere Uncle Dry?!" Larry exclaimed.
"Or was Uncle Dry Rexebris?" Iggy asked himself.
"Yes, I was your precious little "Uncle Dry". It was yesterday when herealised that now was the perfect time to strike!" Rexebris yelled. A chorus of shouts came from the brown-scale Koopa Troopas on the ledge. "Although, one cannot take over a kingdom without a successor, can they?" He glanced at Morton and smirked, making him shrink down a little in fear.
"So what do plan to do about that, huh?" Bowser said. "Clone one of us?"
"Heh, why would I cloneyou when I can just have the real thing?" Rexebris replied.
"You're not saying that..." Morton said quietly.
Rexebris grinned evilly at Morton. "I amsaying that."
"If you're thinking of taking Morton, I'm not gonna let you!" Bowser roared. He spat a fireball on Rexebris, only to find that he had avoided it.
"Bet you can't do that, can you, Bowser?" Rexebris said smugly. Bowser growled, then let out a volley of smaller fireballs, but Rexebris was always ahead. He stopped next to Morton and said, "I'll be taking this, thank you." He picked him up and went back up on the ledge.
"Until next time, Bowser!" He shouted, then ran off with the brown-scale Koopa Troopas following him.
Bowser growled, his face locked into a frown. "Don't think this is over, Rexebris!" He roared.
"This is just the beginning..."
