Villains United

At the very end of the Mushroom Kingdom, past the land of Nimbus, and Moleville, lies the Koopa Kingdom. It is a land of despair. Dangers lurked around every corner before the heartless came, and now with the heartless, it was even worse. At the very heart of the Koopa Kingdom, lies Bowser Castle. Enormous in size, and rivaled only by Nintendo Castle, it is filled with traps, dungeons, and monsters. The ruler of this kingdom, is a koopa so ferocious and evil, that he became the King of the Koopas. His name, is Bowser.

Bowser trodded through his castle, followed closely (as always) by the old Magikoopa, Kammy. Tonight was a special night, Bowser was meeting some old friends, and some new friends. He liked the idea that Cackletta had come up with, even though he did not like her. She was a batty old witch, and like all batty old witches, he considered them stupid hags. But there was no denying that the idea she had come up with was nothing short of pure genius. Why he hadn't thought of it, was beyond him. But he knew that he wouldn't be able to pull it off alone, no matter how much he wanted to.

He made his way to the throne room, where the meeting was going to be held. When he walked in, he saw three people. One, was Cackletta herself. She was dressed in her robe of purple, and had her horn headdress on. The other, he recognized immediately, even though the man's back was turned on him. It was none other than Ganondorf. The third person (or thing) was a purple pterodactyl-like creature. They were not talking to each other, and just waiting, apparently for the right moment to discuss things. Bowser greeted them.

"Friends," he said to Ganondorf and the pterodactyl. Then he addressed Cackletta. "And hag," he said with a sneer.

"Bowser," she replied with mock respect in her voice, "I just love what you've done with the castle! The lava is sure to stop any intruders! Why the Prince must be scared to death when he comes here." Bowser growled.

"Calm yourselves," replied Ganondorf. "We cannot expect to come out the victors if we keep arguing. We must band together to achieve our goals."

"You speak truth, and wisdom," the pterodactyl said, "Not something the women of your tribe would do." Ganondorf ignored him.

"And who are you?" Bowser asked.

"I am Ridley," the pterodactyl said. "I am but a humble servant to the mother brain, whom you requested to come here. Unfortunately, she cannot make it due to a…mobility problem…and I am to act as her eyes and ears at our little…meetings."

"Quite intelligent for an animal," Bowser replied sarcastically.

"It's a shame the same can not be said for you," Ridley sneered back. Bowser growled again, and smoke escaped his nostrils. Ridley readied himself for battle, but Ganondorf stepped between them.

"ENOUGH!" he said, drawing his swords. Bowser and Ridley had both heard of his power, and did not want anything to do with him. Even together, they probably were not strong enough to defeat him. The looked at each other, and then turned away.

"Where are the others, Bowser?" asked Cackletta. "You said that the others were going to show."

"They'll be here!" Bowser said. And as he said it, the doors opened, and there stood some of the worst villains the worlds had ever known. King K. Rool, Grodus, Andross, Yggdrasill, King Debede (and Meta Knight was with him). Bowser welcomed them all in, and they gathered round the table at the throne.

"You all know why we are here," Cackletta said. "We are here to discuss the terms of which we will capture the Princesses of Heart. We know of all the princesses, except one. She has eluded my knowledge for many years, but with the numbers of Heartless at my disposal, she will be easier to find. She will have to let herself known eventually."

"Who are the Seven," K. Rool interrupted. "I only know of Pauline, and she's been hard to get at, as she has that stupid Donkey Kong at her side, all the time!"

"The seven Princesses are Pauline, Peach, Daisy, Samus, Zelda, and Collette," She replied. "The last one has alluded me, which is frustrating me, as she is supposed to have come from my own world."
"It's not technically your world," replied Debede, "You took it over, but you didn't originate there."

"That is true," She said, "But I have spent the last few years of my life there, and I don't see how she could have slipped past my henchmen. Now we have more urgent business to attend to. K. Rool, you will obviously be the one to catch Pauline. Use the Heartless to keep the monkey busy. Debede and Meta Knight, you will turn the creatures of your world into heartless to assist in my domination. Bowser, I am trusting that without the wretched Prince here, you should have no problem in catching Peach and Daisy. But just in case, Grodus will assist you." Bowser looked over at the half metal moon man. He seemed powerful. Bowser turned to Cackletta and nodded. "Ridley, You and the Mother Brain will have a hard time, but I know you will defeat Aran, especially with the heartless on your side."
"Without a doubt," Ridley said, a grin spreading across his face.

"And that leaves you, Ganondorf. You will be the one to collect Zelda. And yours is probably the easiest one, as you don't have any objectors to fight against."

"And what are you going to be doing while we are you breaking our backs for you?" Grodus asked. Cackletta looked at him and replied, "Well, I need to do more and more research until I find out who the last key is! Yggdrasill will handle Collette. Not too hard, as she is already turning into a vegetable as we speak." She finished with this.

"The Prince is gone, and so is his blade. Now is the time to strike back at he who inflicted such hardships and despair upon us long ago! Come Brethren, fight with me!" She yelled. The others in the room yelled their agreement. Only Ganondorf seemed upset.

"And what about the Keyblader?" he asked, ominously. Everyone in the room stopped cheering and looked at him.

"Do you mean the Prince?" asked Yggdrasil.

"No, I mean the new one. The one who was just chosen. I recently met with a dark figure. He wouldn't tell me his name…he was shrouded in darkness," Ganondorf replied, "He told me that the new Keyblader had been chosen, and that the Prince had already gotten to him."

"Nothing to worry about," Cackletta replied viciously. "I have two people who could easily take care of him, especially if he is new to it." She looked over her shoulder, and called, "Calub! Fawful! Your time is now!"

In walked a young boy, a boy who used to have friends on Fate Oasis. Shrouded in Darkness, and wearing a jumpsuit with the heartless brand, he stood next to Cackletta. Followed closely, was a smaller man, dressed entirely in a red cloak and had goggles on that made his eyes spiral (or maybe they spiraled normally). He was wearing a special headgear that let him fly, suck up matter, spit out energy balls, the like. But everyone in the room saw these two and tensed up a little. They knew that despite appearances, these two were fearsome creatures.

"I will send you, Calub after the Keyblader," she replied. "Considering you appear to know him."

"Yes," Is all Calub said.

"Good. Turn him, and his pathetic friend, brother of the Prince, to the darkness. Should you fail, then I will send Fawful." The little man giggled insanely.

"And I shall spread the Mustard of Doom across the pitiful Salami he calls life! I HAVE FURY!" he screamed. Cackletta smiled at him.

"Yes," She replied. "Yes you shall."

"Cackletta," Calub replied, "Don't forget our bargain. I bring Ward to the Darkness, and you tell me where to find Beth's heart and put it back in her body!" he said.

"Of course!" she said.

"Now hold on!" cried Debede. He was about to tell Cackletta that she was telling a boldfaced lie, but was cut off with a look from Fawful, his headgear humming ominously.

"Now," replied Cackletta, "We begin."
