What Happens to Bower's Minions?:
A/N: All those flattened ones, and the ones knocked inside their shells? Also, Bowser's a bit of a wimp, I know, but it's for added humour.
"Ya-hoo!" Mario cried in delight, squashing a chain of Goombas, and kicking a Koopa shell to knock out other baddies. After he left, Koopas with stretchers and wheelbarrows ran onto the scene, dumping Koopa shells into the barrows, and scraping flattened Goombas off the path. The. Ran back to Bower's castle.
They dumped the new Goomba-pancakes onto an already large pile. Another Koopa took one from the pile, and stuck a hose in its mouth, then turned on an air compressor, blowing air through the hose, and inflating the Goomba. Good as new, save a few bruises. This was the usual for Goomba victims when Mario comes around.
The Koopa shells were taken to another room, also dumped on a huge pile. Several Koopas and Goombas were tossing them onto a conveyor belt, going through a large machines. Steam was everywhere, and the room was hot and humid. At the other end of the belt came the Koopas, extracted from their shells in which their were stuck. This process was not the most pleasant, so I shan't go into details. Just know that arms and legs had to be pulled out of the tight space which is a Koopa shell.
Why go to all the trouble? Why not get new minions? Fresh ones, who are eager to go and stop the enemy?
"It's cheaper," Bowser stated. "All of my minions have been here for over twenty years. They're loyal enough, if they've been here this long!"
Just then, there was a loud knock at the door.
"Come in!"
"Gladly..." The door swung open, revealing hundreds of Goombas and Koopas, all glaring, all carrying a club, or spear, all grinning evilly at Bowser. Bowser gulped.
"Maybe not so loyal," he squeaked.
