Twilight: "HAH! Thought you could outsnake me, huh? You're a sneaky one, princess!"

Daisy: "Aww, phooey! Hey, I almost had you on Moo Moo Farm with that Spiny Shell!"

Twilight: "Yeah, I admit you did, but I crossed the finish line just before I got smacked with it. Too little, too late, huh?"

Daisy: "Yeah, I guess so...Hey, speaking of little...I wonder what happened to Bowser Jr. after I tossed him?"

Twilight: "All that and more will be revealed here, the final chapter of our story."

Daisy: "Then stop stalling and start narrating! I wanna kick some butt!"

Twilight: nervously "Hehe..okay..."

Chapter 5- Titan vs. Titaness

At Giga Bowser's Throne...

"Look, just admit it already, princess! The Mario Brothers are not gonna save you this time!" complained Giga Bowser, fed up with the princesses' false hopes. What Giga Bowser and Peach didn't know was that Giga Bowser was half-right about this. Not entirely though...

"I don't care! They will save me, and you will fall again!" said Peach, her eyes full of tears. Peach had not felt this strong since she saved the Mario Brothers and her Toad helpers from Bowser on Vibe Island a couple years back. If she had Perry with her, things would be different right now.

"Pshaw!" grumbled Giga Bowser, "What can those pint-sized plumbers do to me while I'm like this?!"

As if to answer his statement, Giga Bowser suddenly heard something coming whizzing through the sky. As he turned to see what it was, he suddenly got konked on the forehead by a small object, which then landed in his hand. As it turned out, it was Bowser Jr. Giga Bowser was shocked beyond reason that what he thought was the Mario Brothers had somehow sent his son careeneing through the sky and back to him! Giga Bowser had fumes coming out of his ears, which signaled that he had had enough.

"You cheapskate of a son! How could you let the Mario Brothers whip you like that?!!" yelled Giga Bowser to his son, his voice practically almost making the area around him shake.

"B-b-b-but...Daddy...it wasn't-" Bowser Jr. started.

"Ah, shut up, Junior!" Giga Bowser interrupted, "Well, as the old saying goes: If you want something done RIGHT, you gotta do it yourself! Junior, do Dark Land a favor and watch your "Mom" for awhile! I've got some bugs to get out of my yard!"

With that, Giga Bowser set an injured Bowser Jr. next to Peach inside the cage. Soon, Giga Bowser then spoke again. "So where're they at?" he asked in a gruff manner.

"O-o-over t-t-t-there..." stuttered Bowser Jr., pointing at the nearest mountain range, "But, daddy, it's like I was about to say, it's not-"

"That's all I needed to hear from you, Junior! Now stay with Peach until I get back, hopefully with two squished plumbers! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" said Giga Bowser, laughing his head off and being ignorant that his son was trying to warn him of something (of which we all know what "it" is...wink, wink!). Giga Bowser then turned to face the mountain range and strolled off for it, ready to get rid of the Mario Brothers once and for all...or so he thought.

In the cage, though he was not exactly the most trustworthy character of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach went over to Bowser Jr. and sat down. "What did you mean by, 'It wasn't...'?" she asked. Bowser Jr., still a bit bruised then said, "It...it was..."

A bit ways away...

Giga Bowser stomped through Dark Land, frustrated once agian that his minions and even his own son couldn't do anything right. Soon, he had reached the mountain range Junior had spoke of, but saw nothing out of the ordinary, besides the glum dark clouds that surounded the land as usual. Giga Bowser was getting fed up, and he was almost thinking that his son had said this just to get out of doing the dirty work.

But before Giga Bowser did anything else, he heard a loud WHOOSH! sound right from behind him. Giga Bowser quickly turned around to see what had made the sound, but he didn't see anything. Just the air in front of him. Giga Bowser knew better, however, that someone, or something, was there, and he was fed up enough as it is. "Who's there? Show yourself!" he roared.

Then...she made her appearance. Daisy had gotten Giga Bowser to turn around, giving the opportunity for a first strike, and she had the perfect first strike in mind: Her fabled Torpedo Strike! Daisy lept up into the air behind Giga Bowser, preparing the strike. Giga Bowser heard all the commotion behind him and turned around, but the only thing he saw was Daisy's foot come slicing across his face...

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Daisy gave her battle cry and smacked Giga Bowser right upside his scaly head, and with the power of her Torpedo Strike as well! Giga Bowser felt this, and BOY did he feel it! Soon after the kick connected, Giga Bowser was sent flying, but not as hard as someone of Bowser Jr.'s size, though it was far enough to send Giga Bowser right back near Peach's cage. In fact, with her perfect sense of aim, Daisy had made Giga Bowser have a soft landing...on his castle!

Giga Bowser was stunned for a few moments before shaking his head and looking at where he landed. He then realized that he landed right on his castle. "WHAT!! Awwwww!!! It took me years to build this one!" he wailed, but then noticed who had hit him before and gave him a splitting headache. Standing a few yards (to them at least) away was Daisy, looking at Giga Bowser with a very serious glare. It was then Giga Bowser realized that Daisy had somehow become about the same size of him, and she looked like she was ready to rumble.

"So, that's it, huh?" said Giga Bowser, getting up from the debris that was his castle, "The Mario Brothers couldn't do it themselves, so they sent a tomboy of a princess to rescue Peach! HAH! If the Mario Brothers couldn't stop me, what makes you think you will, even if you're the same size as me?!"

Daisy wasn't liking Giga Bowser's tone, or anything else about him for that matter. "I'm here to take back Peach, and you are going down, Giga Bowser!" Daisy said, pointing at him.

"HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!" Giga Bowser laughed, his gut almost hurting from doing so, "So, the princess of Sarasaland wants to play the hero? Well, just because you got in a cheap shot doesn't mean that you'll win! I got more power than you and the Mario Brothers combined! What makes you think you can even touch me?"

"Funny, you seemed to be in real pain when I kicked your scaly butt halfway to Tuesday a minute back!" Daisy said, but that got on Giga Bowser's last nerve.

Soon, the two titans ran towards each other, locking hands and claws in close combat. The battle to stop Giga Bowser had finally began...

Meanwhile, in the cage, Peach had seen everything that had happened, and was quite awestruck at how not the Mario Brothers, but rather Princess Daisy herself had come to rescue her, not to mention the size increase! "Daisy? Wow...I knew she was strong-hearted, but I never thought she'd do this for me..." Peach said with a smile. She then went to the end of the cage and started cheering Daisy's name to show some encouragement.

Back on the battlefield, the two combatants were not slowing down, and the land around them was getting quite messed up due to the fight. If this had taken place in a more populated area, there would be a serious toll on the Mushroom Kingdom, but that was Daisy's plan to take on Giga Bowser in someplace less populated, for she didn't want any more harm done to the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. Daisy lunged forward with a few rights and lefts, but Giga Bowser, despite his bulk, quickly dodged each blow. Giga Bowser then swiped at Daisy a few times, but with her keen agility, Daisy also dodged each swipe. As the last swipe was dodged, Daisy promptly jumped up and over Giga Bowser, stomping his head Mario Brothers-style and making the trademark noise. Giga Bowser, having already gotten a Torpedo Strike to the head, held his head in pain as Daisy stomped on it.

"You're not half-bad, pretty princess!" said Giga Bowser, "But I think it's time we stepped this up!" Having said that, Giga Bowser inhaled deeply and turned around at Daisy, who had just landed behind Giga Bowser with a thundering BOOM. Giga Bowser then let loose a jet of fire from his mouth, sending it right in Daisy's direction. Daisy turned to see it coming, but didn't have enough time to completely dodge the blast. She dove out of the way, but her lower half got in the blast before she completely got out of the way, leaving some burn marks on her outfit. It was a good thing these new outfits were specially designed to be fireproof, else Daisy may have been a leg shorter right now.

Daisy got to her feet and scowled at Giga Bowser, her temper almost getting to its limits. As we all well know, Daisy is kind and caring, but if she's crossed, you'd best stay out of her way! Daisy was about to launch a counter-attack when she saw some boulders lying nearby that, surprisingly enough, were about the size of a soccer ball to her. This gave Daisy an idea, albeit a somewhat daring one. She picked up one of the boulders in her hand and twirled it around like a basketball.

"Hey, Giga Doofus! CATCH!!" yelled Daisy, and she promptly threw the boulder right towards Giga Bowser. Giga Bowser, though he was a bit drained from firing that intense blast from before, ducked out of the way, turning around to see it go whizzing over his head. Giga Bowser chuckled as he turned back around to face Daisy.

"HA! Ya missed!" yelled Giga Bowser, but that first boulder was only a distraction. During the time he was occupied, Daisy had set up a shot with another boulder, this time using it as a soccer ball! As Giga Bowser finished that sentence, she let loose a hard kick to the boulder, sending it streaking towards Giga Bowser at high speeds (surprised the boulder didn't break from her kicking it...). The boulder was going so fast, it almost looked like a meteor was heading for Giga Bowser! As fast as it was, Giga Bowser didn't dodge it in time and took the full force of the blow, with the boulder shattering to pieces upon impact to Giga Bowser's chest area. Giga Bowser reeled back, landing on his back like a turtle on it's shell.

Daisy then saw this as a very utmost opportunity to try and end this somewhat deadly game, and she ran towards Giga Bowser at high speed. Giga Bowser, still stuck on his back, struggled to get up, but he was stuck like a turtle should be in that situation. Daisy had just come up to Giga Bowser and suddenly stopped a few feet (to her) in front of him. She raised her left arm up and brought her hand to a fist, looking as if she was about to strike him down. She lunged her fist to the ground, giving off another battle cry...

...but she wasn't aiming for Giga Bowser. Rather, she had hit the ground just around Giga Bowser's tail area. At first, only the impending shockwave from Daisy's fist hitting the ground was heard, not to mention felt. It was so strong, that the cage Peach was in fell from it's place and cracked open like it was made of wood. Peach saw this as an opportunity and scrambled out of the cage, with Bowser Jr. following close behind. Soon, the shockwave had stopped, and everything fell silent, save for the wind in the air. Giga Bowser, still on his back, arched his head up to look at Daisy, who had a smug smile on her face.

"You have to work on your aim, princess!" he bellowed.

"Actually...my aim was perfect...as always!" said Daisy, and unbeknowest to Giga Bowser, the hand that Daisy used to strike the ground was flat on it, her fingers spread out. It was then, after Daisy had finished that sentence, that she knew it was time to end this. She then took her hand planted on the ground and gave it a quick twist...

KER-BAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!! Suddenly, spires of rock and crystal erupted from the ground, and the force of them caused Giga Bowser to be sent straight up into the air, hundereds of feet up! For any who don't know, that was the technique Daisy would later use at the Strikers Charged Tournament: Her Crystal Smash! Daisy then saw Giga Bowser high up in the air, and she saw this as the way to end it once and for all. Daisy then, with all the power in her legs, jumped straight up to meet Giga Bowser, and did she ever JUMP!

Soon, Daisy felt the power of the mushroom that was left by her mother and Gunpei kick in again. She felt incredible strength in her body, and she knew that she had to use it now or never. Her body then glowed a turquoise blue, and she finally met up with Giga Bowser in the sky. Giga Bowser, for the first time since achieving his newfound power, felt scared to the point he'd have a heart attack. The energy around Daisy flowed and soon, Daisy held her left arm up in the air, and fragments of rock and crystal started to bond with her arm and hand.

(Quick author's note: As of the time I am writing this, the move Daisy is about to do is unnamed, but we know it as her Mega Strike.)

Giga Bowser felt fear run through him, and he did the only thing a turtle like him could do at a time like this: Withdraw into his shell and hope to soften the upcoming blow.

"Now, Giga Bonehead..." came Daisy's voice, echoing through the skies, "You're FINISHED!!"

With saying that, Daisy lunged her now-encased arm forward with extreme prejudice and a deafening sonic boom could be heard upon the impact of Daisy's fist to Giga Bowser's shell. This caused Giga Bowser to be sent flying straight down to the ground, causing another deafening sound almost like the sound coming from a nuclear explosion, and causing a VERY large crater to be formed where he landed.

The battle was over...Daisy had won...but was Giga Bowser totally finished off?

Well...in a sense...

After the dust had settled, a dazed and bruised Bowser had awoken to find himself on the ground. record scratch Wait a second, here!! BOWSER?! Yes, that's correct. For some strange reason, Bowser had lost his Giga powers and had reverted back to his normal ugly self, not to mention his normal size as well. Bowser, though completely dazed, immediately knew that his powers were gone.

"What the...HEY!!! What happened to my powers?!" he yelled out loud.

"They're gone, you fiend you." came a feminine voice, which turned out to be Peach. Bowser looked to see Peach standing there right in front of him, her arms crossed, and her face having a smug smile.

Bowser was quite angry that his powers were gone, but soon, he gave off a low chuckle. "Ah, who cares? At least I still got you, and the Mario Brothers still think that I'm Giga!" he said with a laugh at the end.

"I don't think my friend here agrees with you." said Peach, still keeping her smug expression.

"Hunh? What friend?" asked Bowser, confused at Peach's statement.

Instead of answering, Peach simply pointed up and behind Bowser. Bowser turned around, and guess who was there...?

Yep, it was Daisy, now quite literally TOWERING over the once-high-and-mighty Bowser. Bowser turned paler than an eskimo at the sight of the gigantic Daisy. Daisy then got a smile and leaned down until her face was right next to Bowser, who was so scared siff, he couldn't move.

"Boo." said Daisy sarcastically.

Bowser then somehow found his legs again, and soon ran off faster than you can say "Mama Mia". As Bowser ran off, Daisy wasn't quite done yet, and she promptly grabbed Bowser by the tail with her thumb and forefinger and hoisted him up, just like she did his son earlier. Bowser had wide eyes as he stared into Daisy's larger ones.

"So, all you are is a coward who hides behind his powers? You're more pathetic than I first thought, scale-for-brains!" said Daisy, her voice almost making Bowser deaf.

"You good-for-nothing princess of a good-for-nothing kingdom! PUT ME DOWN!!!" yelled Bowser at the top of his lungs.

Daisy then got a very stern look on her face for a few moments after hearing Bowser's insult, but it soon turned into a somewhat playful smile. "Well, alright...I will..." said Daisy. Bowser sighed with relief, but it was too soon to do so, since Daisy then had another cross look. "Right after I send you on a one-way trip to nowhere!!" she bellowed, and soon, Daisy threw Bowser foward with all the force she could muster, and Bowser screamed the whole way, disappearing into the sky.

Peach watched from the ground all that Daisy had did, and was relieved that Bowser was gone, even if just for now. Daisy then looked down at her small friend. "So, you want a lift back home?" she asked. Peach gave an OK sign and Daisy lowered her hand down so Peach could climb on. The two princess then left Dark Land and headed home.

Back in Peach's Castle...

The Mario Brothers were up and going again. It's a good thing Mario kept a supply of Megavitamins around for just such emergencies, else they would've been stuck in the hospital for a lot longer. They were pacing back and forth, trying to find out a way to defeat Giga Bowser, and of course, not knowing he had just been defeated a few minutes ago.

"Geez, Mario, what're we gonna do?" asked Luigi.

"I dunno, bro, but we have to think of something to defeat that creep!" said Mario.

"That won't be nessecary, Mario." came a feminine voice that just came in the room. Mario and Luigi turned to see Peach standing there in the doorway of her room, smiling at the brothers.

"Peach!!" clamored both brothers, who then ran over to her to hug her.

"It's okay, guys...I'm alright." said Peach, returning the hug to each brother.

"How did you escape?" asked Mario.

"Well...let's just say I had some help." said Peach.

"Some help? Who?" asked Luigi.

"She's right outside on the balcony. Follow me." said Peach.

The Mario Brothers were a bit confused, but followed Peach out onto her room balcony, but all that was seen out there was the sky and Toad Town down below. "I don't get it, Peach...where's this help you said you had?" asked Mario.

"Right here, sweeties!" came a loud voice from the right. Mario and Luigi turned to see Daisy, still giant-sized looking down at the brothers and smiling and waving at them. Both brothers just stood there for a few moments before...

"MAMA MIA!!!!" they both said in unison.

"Heh...thought I'd get that reaction from you two!" said Daisy in a joking manner.

"Peach...you'd-a better explain this..." said Mario, quite nervous to be around a giant Daisy.

Peach then told the whole story, with Daisy filling in for a few parts.

"So, Giga Bowser is just Bowser now, and Daisy rescued you?" asked Luigi.

"Yep, and I did a great job, didn't I?" said Daisy, smiling.

"Sure did! So, what're you going to do until the powers wear off?" asked Mario.

"I think I'll help with some of the Shroom City cleanup. With me the way I am now, I'm sure they'd like some help!" said Daisy.

"Well said, Daisy." said Peach, and everyone hopped onto Daisy's right hand and she set off for Shroom City, being careful where she stepped, of course. But during the trip, Luigi brought up a question. "Hey, Mario...?" he asked.

"Hmm?" wondered Mario.

"Where do you think Bowser is now?" asked Luigi.

"Heck if I know..." said Mario.

Somewhere far away...

"Ugghh...ow, my head..." said Bowser as he came to. He then found himself on a sparkling platform in the middle of a vast space field. This only meant he was in one place, and one alone: Final Destination! Seems Daisy had thrown Bowser so hard, he wound up here somehow!

"HUNH?! Hey, what'm I doing back here?!" he yelled out loud, getting to his feet.

"You're here to face your punishment for disloyalty!!" came a loud voice. Soon, Master Hand reappeared in front of Bowser.

"Pfffeh!" Bowser snorted, seeing Master Hand in front of him, "You know very well that I can beat the snot outta you even without being Giga Bowser! Bring it on, you stitched nightmare!"

"If so...then how about BOTH of us?!" said Master Hand.

"Both...?" wondered Bowser, not knowing what Master Hand meant, "What're you talking about?!"

"He's talking about ME!" came another voice from behind Bowser. Bowser jumped up and around to see another floating hand behind him, this one we know as Crazy Hand!

"What the...?!" exclaimed Bowser, clearly seeing he was outnumbered here.

"Hehehe...Someone's been a naughty little turtle!!" came Crazy Hand's voice.

"Now, you will pay the price for your disloyalty!!" said Master Hand.

Bowser looked back and forth between the two hands around him, feeling scared and frustrated at the same time. Soon, Bowser blurted out the only thing on his mind right now...

"I'll get that Princess!!!!!"

End of Story

Daisy: "Uh-huh! Uh-huh! I rule! I rule!"

Twilight: "Whew...thought I'd never finish this story..."

Daisy: "Yeah, but you did a fantastic job, right down to my Mega Strike!"

Twilight: "You still haven't named that, have you?"

Daisy: "I dunno..."

Twilight: sigh "Oh, well...at least I had a great guest during he majority of the story."

Daisy: "Well, let's hope I can come again!"

Twilight: "Why not stay here? I could use some company."

Daisy: "Hmmm...ah, sure, why not? I'll just call Peach and tell her I'm on vacation for a bit."

Twilight: "Just don't stay on too long...I dunno how much a call from here to the Mushroom Kingdom will be on my bill."
