I don`t own any characters, the ones I created are mine however.
In last episode: to avoid everything that happened, Junior and Luigi travel back in time to stop Junior from joining Bowser`s Army. However, a big battle ensues, where the younger Junior summons clones that turn into some enemies, so the older Junior fights with the same weapons and wins. However, Junior of the past runs toward Bowser`s Castle now…
Chapter 11: Battle over Lava and in the Air
It was the old thing again: Mario battling Bowser over a dangerous field. The battle was happening in Bowser`s Castle, over a lake of lava, and each was on a dangling platform. Mario had a powerful, two-sided hammer to balance and fight with. Bowser, on his side, was also on a platform over lava, but he had a Bob-Omb cannon instead. One of the greatest battles was about to begin. Mario had understood right away what to do: he had to knock back the Bob-Ombs to Bowser, who would have a hard time avoiding them. However, this would not knock him down in lava the first time. He was agile enough to hold on the side of his dangling platform.
Toadror Junior of the past was looking at this, sitting on a chandelier held by a weak chain. All of a sudden, Toadror Junior of the present and Luigi fell on the other chandelier, and prepared for a battle. That was a risky bet: if anyone was to fall, it was nearly impossible to end up on a dangling platform, and the fallen would end in lava, instantly killing him.
That`s it, the battle for the future had begun. Toadror Junior of the past`s plan was to kill Mario while the plumber was fighting Bowser; he would accomplish his vengeance and join Bowser. However, Luigi and that guy resembling him were always in his way! Luigi had two missions: help Mario and battle Junior. And Mario and Bowser were totally unaware of the battle happening over their heads.
Luigi jumped to Junior of the past`s chandelier, and landed on it, causing it to dangle a little. And the weight suddenly came back to normal, and Luigi punched the younger Junior, who used a magical shield to protect himself. Junior of the past looked down: Bowser had thrown a Bob-Omb to Mario. Junior brought the Bob-Omb to him, and threw it to Luigi, who kicked it on the chandelier`s chain, causing the platform to shake.
"Is that one of your new tricks, Mario?" Bowser asked.
"Nope, I don`t know what happened. Trust me."
"But I don`t trust you!" Bowser said, throwing two more Bob-Ombs. Mario used his two-sided hammer to throw them back at Bowser, however the turtle avoided them. One Bob-Omb hit another platform behind Bowser, causing rocks to fly toward Bowser and Mario. Bowser successfully avoided them, but Mario just threw them back with his hammer. The rocks fell in lava.
The battle was also extremely fierce on the chandeliers. Luigi was protecting his chandelier`s chain while the two Juniors were fighting in a magical duel. Summoning clones would be too dangerous, due to their weight.
"Artis Attacka!" the younger Junior shouted, creating a pencil and drawing a circle, which tackled his enemies.
"Bodyum Checkam!" the older Junior said, as a part of him was leaving his body and flew toward the younger Junior.
The two spells missed their target, as the three fighters just hung themselves to the chandelier. However, older Junior`s spell being a mind-losing one, he was unable to reintegrate his body before the other Junior attacked.
"Bulleta Billous Blastera!" younger Junior said, as a Bullet Bill appeared out of nowhere and flew toward the soulless body of the older Junior. Luigi took older Junior and pushed him away. The spell caster finally took his mind back, and continued casting spells.
"Eggera Ballis!" An egg appeared and tackled Junior of the past, who fell but hung to the side of the chandelier. He rapidly reached the chain holding the chandelier, and got back on his feet.
Down there, the battle was silent; however it was terrible and difficult on each side. Bowser was a pain in the neck to defeat as he could avoid every Bob-Omb thrown back at him. Bowser was always charging his weapon with a confusing ease; where did he get all these Bob-Ombs to throw?
Anyway, Mario now had to think up a plan. Because Bowser would soon get the same idea. He just had to throw the bombs lower, to hit the dangling rock and causing them to explode, which would make Bowser fall in lava! Bowser threw another Bob-Omb to Mario, who threw it back lower, and the bomb exploded as soon as it touched the rocks holding Bowser up. The younger Junior, on his chandelier, had seen that and was already using a spell to hold Bowser in the air and recreating the platform.
"Is that your new trick, Bowser?" Mario asked.
"Nope, I didn`t know about it, I promise!"
"I don`t trust you!" Mario answered, just as Bowser had done a few minutes ago. "It`s Kamek, isn`t it?"
"Kamek? He left with his mother Kammy to Delphino Plaza a week ago!"
"Yeah, right…" Mario said. "En garde, now! I`m going to beat you down, throw you in lava, do everything possible to stop you!"
On the chandeliers, the older Junior was now missing magical power to create spells. He decided that was enough.
"CIRSQUATRIA!" he shouted, and started spinning around, throwing spells everywhere. The Cirsquatria spell is the spell used by Magikoopas, the one which uses a circle, a square and a triangle. He threw about a dozen spells like that. One spell hit Bowser`s dangling platform, another hit the chain holding the younger Junior`s chandelier.
Bowser automatically fell in lava, presumably dying. Mario was still wondering what happened when he magically got teleported to the front door of the Castle.
The younger Junior fell down, but just as second before he was hitting lava, he got teleported as well as Luigi and the other Junior. The three characters found themselves back in the forest.
"Why did you do that?" The younger Junior asked.
"Because you`re me. If you died, I would have died as well, since I am from the future, but since we`re in my past I would disappear. Got it?"
"No…"
"Anyway, the point is that it`s not because of Mario if our father had been exiled from Toad Town. He exiled himself because the Toads were angry at him because of the archives. Stop being so hateful toward the hero of the Kingdom; he might as well save your life one day."
"If you say it… and since you saved me, you can be trusted. Okay, I`ll stop hating Mario."
And as soon as this was said, Luigi and Junior were sent back in the present, and back in E. Gadd`s laboratory. Luigi remembered everything: the battle on the chandeliers, Mario`s winning, and Junior`s change of heart.
In next episode: Is everything back to normal? Does everyone remembers what happened in that fake present? Does the player have a great score to give this game? That`s to read, as always!
