Close-calls
I do not own the Mario Franchise, Nintendo does, I own plot and OC
The battle was drawn into a stalemate, no one advanced, until a toad with binoculars alerted the leaders. "Mario, Luigi, Princesses, Toadsmorth! Look!", the blue toad yelled. They immediately ran to him, and looking out they saw a strange sight, a Koopa Airship dropping off crates. Bowser's Airship hovered over the castle, and Bowser on a megaphone said, "Give up Princess, your army stands no match to my Koopa JC!". "Never Bowser, no matter whatever this Koopa JC is!", Peach replied fiercely. "Well just look for yourselves." Bowser said with a evil grin.
On the battlefield, it seemed to be going good for the Soldiers of Freedom, that was until the Koopa JC arrived. "What in blazes!" a green toad yelled, "Look!", a blue shy guy pointed to one of the "boxes". A Fire Bro. ascended from it, he announced, "Today you have written your doom! Face the might of the Koopa JuggerCorps! Hahahaha!". The boxes broke to reveal what seemed to be a Koopa Airship on wheels, equipped with cannons and Rocky Wrenches. The "landships" started moving towards the outer wall of Toad Town, blasting any enemies before them. "They're too strong!" a nobokon yelled, "Fall Back!". With the combined might of the Koopa SC and the new Koopa JC, the blasted through the first wall of defense.
As Princess Peach and Toadsmorth saw the horror, Bowser was laughing wickedly, "See kids, that's how you destroy an army!" He said facing Jr. and the Koopalings. "You'll never get away with this!", Peach said, "I know but I'll get away with destroying you! Koopas get them all!" Bowser ordered. A group of Koopas, Goombas, and Hammer Bros. descended from the ship. "Come on Koops!", the leader, an armored Hammer Bro. said, and they charged the heroes, but Toadsmorth managed to sneak away. The Koopas were stalled by a wall of Toad guards surrounding the heroes, but were easily defeated by the overwhelming number of enemies and retreated. "Well well well, finally have you at last you stupid good-guys! Prepare to die!, Bowser cruelly said, pointing a cannon straight at the group.
"I guess this is the end, eh bother?" Luigi said facing Mario with welled up eyes, "I guess, but lets protect them," Mario replied, turning his head to the mortified Princesses. So the plumbers covered there respective princess and waited for the worse. Then when it all seemed lost, Mario caught a glimpse of something in a storage room which he hadn't used in forever, a green and blue box. "Wait! Bowser, before you kill us, at least let us look nice to die?", Mario said pleadingly, Bowser glanced a confused look to his kids, before speaking, "Fine, you'll need to look nice before becoming powder." Bowser answered. "OK thank You, let me get them!", Mario said as he hurriedly went into the room. "What is Mario Thinking?", Peach whispered to Luigi, who just shrugged. "Hey Luigi, time for a wardrobe change," Mario said placing the boxes in front of them, "I know you like blue, after green of course." Bowser was looking at the boxes Mario took out, faint memories kept appearing. "OK Luigi, lets open our boxes, 3,2,1, now!", Mario yelled, and Bowser remembered now, "Stop them you Koops!", the king of turtles ordered. But it was to late, a metallic cap had appeared and Mario placed it on his head, and a faded cap for Luigi and he placed it on his head. Bowser fired the cannon only to have it blow up midair. Once the smoke receded, Mario stood firm, firm as metal, he was Metal Mario! The Koopas were looking for Luigi, who they lost trace of after the explosion, and soon found them selves being hit by a strange force, an unsee-able force, it was Vanish Luigi! As Metal Mario plowed through enemies and Luigi sneakingly attacked them, Wario and Waluigi put themselves to action, looking in the storage room, Waluigi found a rather strange looking suit and Wario found a cape. They placed the items on, Wario was amazed at his, he earned the power of flight! And Waluigi, all the Hammer Bros. were staring at his suit, it looked just like themselves! With the new powers, the four rivals clobbered Bowser's troops.
