Some of the figures jumped out of the bushes and proceeded to go towards the tennis courts, which were to the right of the Toadstool castle. They appeared to be Koopas and Goombas, two other prevalent species of the Mushroom Kingdom. The Koopas were basically turtles if they were able to walk on two legs and were about 2 feet shorter than humans. The Goombas had brown mushrooms as head with 2 stubby little legs. As they approached the tennis courts, one of the Koopas stopped to grab a bomb-omb, a windup toy that exploded like a bomb.
"This should do the trick," one of the Koopas said as they planted the bomb-omb a few feet away from the wall of the tennis court. "Those princesses are ours." The Koopas then wound up the bomb-omb and it proceeded to walk to the walls.
Meanwhile, the princesses were about to finish the 3rd set of their 1st game. Both princesses had one win apiece and the score so far was 6-6 as they prepared for the final set. "Getting tired Daisy?" the princess taunted trying to get into Daisy's head, one of the more prominent strategies she used when trying to win against an opponent.
"You wish," Daisy replied, getting into an athletic stance. "Serve the Ball!"
As Peach served the ball she was startled by an explosion on the far side of the tennis courts. All of a sudden, an alarm is heard as guards of the Mushroom Kingdom came running to the aid of the princesses.
"Princess!" exclaimed one of the guards. "Come with me. There has been a breach from the tennis courts. Reports have detailed that an army of Goombas and Koopas has gathered by an unknown leader. You both are being taken to the bunker where you'll be safe."
Mushroom guards surrounded the tennis courts near where the breach took place. They couldn't believe the sheer numbers of this army as they could count hundreds, even a few thousand, Goombas and Koopas. "Take out the guards, this should be an easy fight," commanded one of the sergeants of the army. "Then we kidnap the princesses." Just like that the Koopas got a running start, slid into their shells, and proceeded to knockout most of the guards. The Goombas provided a quick sweep through charging most of them.
The Goombas knew of their weakness, which was they could easily be destroyed by tapping on their heads. However, the mushroom guards composed of only toads, which were too short to even attempt such a feat. After the short skirmish, most of the army went towards the courtyard to capture the princess. Some troops stayed behind as an escort until to lead the princess back once they were captured.
While the battle was taking place in the background, the mysterious figure jumped out of the bush, and instead of marching towards the tennis courts, he walked towards the stone bridge. He had a spiked shell on the top of his back, red hair, a spiked collar, spiked arms and spiked wrists, looked like a Koopa but was much taller than any other Koopa due to the fact he makeup was similar to a Koopa mixed with a dinosaur. "There will be no escape princesses," muttered the figure. "Your castles, your kingdoms, this world will be mine." Several Mushroom Kingdom guards got in his way.
"Halt trespasser. You are under arrest for attempted kidnapping and assault of Toadstool Cast-AAAGHH" One of the guards yelled as he was being burned by the figure through his fire breath.
"You chumps make me laugh," the figure roared in laughter." Out of my way before I decide to burn you till your end." The figure then marched toward the castle door, leaving a trail of wounded, and a few dead, guards on his path. The figure then looked back his wake of minor destruction. "Only a small stepping stone towards my destiny." He thought to himself just as he was about to destroy the doors using his flame breath. He then kicked the doors with his foot, and they disintegrated to fire ash.
As the princesses approached the stairs to the bunker, they saw the disintegrated doors, as a figure approached them. "What do you want?!" exclaimed both princesses as they were quickly rushed to the stairs.
"We'll handle this princesses," Cried one of the guards escorting them. "Just get down there."
"You poor fool" said the figure as he burned the guard down alive. "Never get in my way, less you want to be destroyed." The figure then looked at the princesses, who were scared out of their minds. "Now princesses, you may either come with me, or watch your whole kingdom get destroyed." The figure approached them slowly as the princesses backed away slowly as well.
"Not so fast you brute!" cried Toadsworth as he stood in front of the princesses. "I may be old, but that doesn't mean I know how to fight." He then charged at the figure only to be swiftly grabbed in one hand by the brute.
"NO!" cried Peach. "Please, whoever you are, please put him down, and we will come with you."
The figure looked at Toadsworth, feeling defeated by the fact he was not able to save the princesses. "Very well then, I'll put him down." He then threw Toadstool towards a bookshelf, where it collapsed on him.
"Toadsworth!" yelled Peach as she started to have tears in her eyes. "You monster, you devil, you…"
Daisy then grabbed her friend and proceeded to comfort her. "Peach, look at me," said Daisy as she hugged Peach. "If we leave right now and try not to anger him, we could save the rest of this kingdom." She lets go of Peach, who was feeling much better after her previous tirade. "Ok, whoever you are, just take us where you need to, there's no need for anyone else here to get hurt."
"Ahh finally some civility in this place," declared the figure as he ordered 2 Koopa troops to capture the princesses. "By the way my princesses, you can call me Bowser, the new king of the Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland." Bowser proceeded to laugh as Bowser, Peach, Daisy, and Bowser's army proceeded to retreat back to his castle, which was situated in the Darklands, an evil territory far away from the kingdom.
