Hello again. This chapter probably isn't as long as the first one, but still.

When we got back to The Mushroom Kingdom, it was chaos. Gaming characters were everywhere, some that I knew very well, others that I had no clue who they were. One that I knew very well was playing King Kong at the top of the castle. Bowser. Peach suddenly came running out of the castle, her dress torn in some places and burnt in others.

"Cyrus, thank god you're back" she said, trying to catch her breath "Bowser got out of the prison and now he's up there. You got that stone, didn't you?"

"Of course I did" said Cyrus, producing a rock that shone like my glowing arrow.

"So, who's your friend?" asked Peach, apparently only just noticing me.

"That's Zero" said Cyrus "He was brought to the Brawlosphere just today."

"I see." said Peach "How good is his aim?"

"I could very likely hit something half Bowser's size from here, if that's what you're getting at" I said.

I took a second to aim, and fired a normal arrow at Bowser. It was a direct hit, but he barely noticed it.

"If you want to play that way..." I said, pulling out the rock arrow, aimed, and fired. The flight wasn't like the other arrows, there were no special effects. But when it hit him, right in the mouth, rock started to spread from that point. Within the space of a few seconds, it had completely encased him. But unlike the water arrow, it stopped spreading when Bowser was encased. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

"Um, bullseye?" I said, hoping that I hadn't done something wrong. Everyone started cheering very loudly.

"Good shot Zero." said Cyrus.

"I was best at archery at school" I said, but I suddenly sensed something was wrong. There was a smash ball floating around Bowser's rock. During the flight on the Starwing, Cyrus had told me that smash balls only appeared during battles. But the battle was over. We had won. Or not. A deep cracking sound came from Bowser's rock, as though...

"Oh no" I said "Everyone LOOK OUT! THIS BATTLE ISN'T OVER!"

An instant later, Bowser had burst from the rock, and was breathing fire towards the smash ball. A second or so of this broke it, and Bowser turned into Giga Bowser.

"That could be slightly problematic" said Cyrus.

"Not really" I said, pulling out the invisible arrow, aimed, but before I could fire, I was knocked over by something plowing into my back. The arrow disappeared and reappeared in my quiver.

"Scor! Scor scor! Gliscor!" said the something, who I assumed was a Gliscor. And by the way he was trying to claw me, it was probably a safe bet that he wasn't on my side. I pulled the bow apart and impaled it on both side, feeling the very satisfying sensation of it turning into a trophy.

"Let's try that again" I said, pulling out the invisible arrow again, aimed and fired. Like the rock arrow, there were no visible effects. Unlike the rock arrow, however, wind picked up as soon as I let the arrow go. Wind got even faster as the arrow flew through the air, but when the arrow hit Giga Bowser, all the wind went in one direction. Giga Bowser. It slammed into him with enough force to knock down a steel wall. He didn't fall off the castle, but he did turn into a trophy of normal Bowser.

Later on, both Wolf and Bowser were secure and I was talking with Mario, who happened to be one of the main fighters against the Subspace army.

"So, the voice took you from Earth and you ended up with that bow in the middle of a battle?" he said.

"Yes"

"And the battle just happened to be a battle that your friend was fighting?"

"Yes."

"Interesting. Frederick!" a Toad entered the room (the kind from the Mario series, not the animal toad.)

"Yes sir?"

"I would like you to find Peach. Even with Bowser a trophy, I don't trust that she won't be kidnapped."

At that moment, Link entered the room. He was badly hurt, and I wondered how he was still standing.

"Eastern forest... under attack... need backup... Donkey Kong... not much longer..." He collapsed onto the floor in a heap.

And there it is.
