World 8-1: The Koopa Kingdom
BGM: Volcano – Outside (New Super Mario Bros Wii)
"So, this is the Koopa Kingdom, eh?" Ruby asked as they wandered around.
"Well, it definitely screams 'doom and gloom'." Yang said.
"Are we just going to ignore the fact that the kingdom has ACTIVE VOLCANOES?!" Weiss asked, pointing over to see several volcanoes erupting and lava flowing.
"Oh, this is definitely a new meaning to 'doom and gloom'." Blake said as they went forward, noticing several rivers of lava flowing, but they kept going as they also noticed a few Blaarghs glaring at them out of the lava, but they couldn't do anything but glare at them.
As they walked through the kingdom, several ravens known as Crowbers decided to greet them by divebombing them. "AAAAAAH! KILLER BIRDS!" Ruby screamed as they covered their heads from the divebombers until Yang had about enough.
"GO AWAAAAAAAAAAY!" She screamed, proceeding to punch them out of the sky as they fell to the ground while one was burned alive in the lava… and eaten by a Blaargh.
"Hmph, that'll teach them not to divebomb us." Weiss said as they walked around, seeing Dry Bones and Bony Beetles minding their own business, including several Swoops.
They then kept walking forward until a few Dry Bones spotted them and threw bones at them, forcing them to dodge as a few Fire Bros and Boomerang Bros launched fire and threw boomerangs at them as Ruby had enough and used her speed semblance and got behind the Bros, as the tornado started sucking everyone up, including the Dry Bones and scattering them everywhere, some of them falling into the lava below.
"I have to say, that Cape Feather is freaking badass." Yang said, as Ruby giggled at this and they kept walking until they saw a flagpole up ahead as they ran forward while dodging some Swoops, more Crowbers and Dry Bones until they got to the flagpole, then they ran up ahead.
End BGM
World 8-2: General Guy's Revenge
As they proceeded to walk forward, an airship pulled up far from them. "Alright men! Ready?" General Guy asked as several Airships got in a formation and turned around. "Aim!"
The Bullet Bill Blasters and Cannons were aimed at them.
"FIRE!"
"Did you hear something?" Ruby asked.
"Guys, look!" Yang exclaimed, pointing forward as the cannonballs and Bullet Bills will coming for them.
"Get behind me!" Weiss ordered as she got in front of them and stabbed the ground as several ice clouds surrounded them and formed a shield right when the cannonballs and Bullet Bills got to them.
"BULLSEYE!" General Guy exclaimed.
"Uh, sir? You might wanna look at this." Commander Guy said as he gave him the binoculars as the smoke cleared, as Team RWBY was unharmed.
"WHAT?!" General Guy yelled.
"Alright, they're asking for it." Yang asked, seeing a ? block and punching it as a Propeller Mushroom came out as she grabbed it and absorbed it, then the four of them got ready.
"Let's take 'em out!" Ruby smirked as they took off running.
BGM: Bowser Jr's Airship Armada (Super Mario Galaxy)
General Guy growled. "FIRE! FIRE EVERYTHING!"
"Banzai Bills loaded!"
"Bullet Bills locked on!"
"Humongous Cannonballs at the go!"
"Ball and chains ready!"
"…We have ball and chains?"
"Of course we do!"
"Bob-Ombs locked and loaded!"
"FIRE!" General Guy ordered as Team RWBY ran forward, dodging the incoming fire.
"Grab onto me!" Ruby requested as they grabbed her arms and then she flew up until she got on one of the airships.
"AAAAH! INTRUDERS!" A Shy Guy yelled as several cannons, Bullet Bill Blasters and Rocky Wrenches laid it out on them, but they were no match for Team RWBY as Yang proceeded to take over the ship soon after.
"Alright, let's turn this bad boy around!" Yang said, as she turned the ship around, aiming directly at the airships.
"Uh… sir…?" Commander Guy asked.
"Now what are they up to?!" General Guy asked.
"Alright, lock and load!" Yang exclaimed as RWB turned the Bullet Bill Blasters around, including the cannons.
"…Please tell me they're not smart enough to do that…" A Shy Guy said.
"Oh please! Only the Koopa Troop and Shy Guys know how to properly use these airships! What can four measly humans do? They know nothing!"
"FIRE!" Yang yelled, as several airships were hit by the attacks and one of them was hit with a Banzai Bill, exploding it into a million pieces.
"Inconceivable! How is that even possible?!" Commander Guy asked in shock.
"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! WE NEED BACKUP! NOOOOW!" General Guy said in the walkie talkie.
"How many more men do you need?"
"ALL OF THEM!"
"Yes sir!"
It was then that they noticed several more airships were coming into view as the singular airship kept firing. "You three go on ahead! I'm gonna have some fun here!" Yang smirked.
"Got it!" Ruby nodded as Blake and Weiss grabbed a hold of Ruby as she flew over to the main airship.
"They're coming this way!" General Guy exclaimed. "FIRE THE ANTI-AIR MISSILES!"
"We don't have any!" A Shy Guy exclaimed.
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah, Bowser said that Anti-Air Missiles were unnecessary, so he threw them into the lava pits!"
"DAG NABBIT!" General Guy growled. "Alright, that's it! Is my tank ready?"
"Yes!"
"Commander Guy! You're in charge until I come out with that tank."
"Yes sir!" Commander Guy saluted as General Guy marched into the airship. "ALRIGHT MEN, FULL POWER!"
Team RWB dodged the Bullet Bills and cannonballs as they landed on the airship, proceeding to take out all of the crew onboard while Yang was happily shooting down the other airships, being careful not to hit the main airship that her teammates were on.
"HALT! You shall not go any further!" Commander Guy got in front of them. "I know karate! I know my way with nunchucks!" He exclaimed, doing a few dangerous moves with his nunchucks. "Your move, RWBY!"
The three looked at each other with a sly smirk, and then they proceeded to kick him off the ship. "NO FAIR! I WASN'T REAAADYYYY!"
It was then that they heard movement as they turned to see General Guy rolling in from his tank. "Hello girls!"
"So, you must be the man behind this." Blake said.
"Indeed I am! Your friend seems to be having fun… but you know what? I will shoot her down once I am through with you! Now… PREPARE YOURSELVES!" He exclaimed as he put himself back in the tank. "Enjoy your final hour!"
The three got into battle positions as General Guy proceeded to launch Bob-ombs and Bullet Bills, which they immediately destroyed as they ran over and attacked the tank, as the light bulb above the tank lit up and let out several lightning bolts, shocking them and forcing them to step away.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU CAN'T EVEN HURT ME, OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE ELECTROCUTED!" General Guy exclaimed.
"The light bulb!" Blake pointed to it.
"Cover me!" Weiss requested as Ruby and Blake got in front of Weiss as Weiss proceeded to make some clouds while also changing the dust to red.
"FIRE!" General Guy threw more Bob-ombs and Bullet Bills, but they sent the Bob-ombs back while destroying the Bullet Bills.
"Got it!" Weiss exclaimed, using a glyph as clouds rolled up underneath the light bulb and it rained fire, burning the bulb until it completely melted.
"Oh, now that's just not fair! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" General Guy exclaimed as he looked around. "Now where are those blasted Ka-Bombs?!"
It was then that they noticed an airship pulling up in front of them as Yang walked up to the front and smirked, as they saw the airships completely destroyed, as it was just them and General Guy left, then she placed a Bullet Bill on top of it.
"AHA!" General Guy pulled them out. "FOUND… them… oh no…"
Yang smirked as Bullet Bills fired directly at him and hit the tank, as one of them exploded on him, lighting the Ka-Bomb in the process and then it blew up, taking the tank with it as General Guy rolled out of the tank.
"Ooogh…"
"Heh." Yang smirked and pulled back her fist, proceeding to use a Propeller Assisted Spinning Jumping Uppercut on General Guy, making him go flying in the sky.
"I'LL REMEMBER THIIIIIIIIIIIS!" General Guy exclaimed as a star shined brightly in the sky… before coming down and landing somewhere in the Koopa Kingdom. "Ow…"
Team RWBY smiled and then jumped off of the airships and walked forward as the two airships fell and exploded behind the Shy Guys.
End BGM
"That… went way better in my head…" One of the Shy Guys groaned.
"Oooogh, I think I see pretty stars…" Another groaned.
"Can someone find my pride…? I think it's somewhere in the wreckage…" Commander Guy groaned.
"I think we need to find General Guy's pride first…" Another muttered, but none of them moved an inch, as they were too much in pain to do anything at the moment.
It was then that RWBY saw a cave with a sign that said "Shortcut to Bowser's Castle!" as they looked at each other and smiled as they ran in.
World 8-3: In the Volcano!
BGM: Volcano (New Super Mario Bros)
"Wait, is this actually a cave or…?" Blake wondered as they wandered around.
"I think it is." Ruby said.
"Look, there's some light up ahead!" Yang said as they wandered forward, but the light was coming from the glow of the lava underneath them.
"Wait… ARE WE INSIDE A VOLCANO?!" Weiss yelled.
Yang looked up, seeing up above, she could see a small part of the sky, complete with some smoke. "Yup, we're in a volcano."
"Oh no…" Weiss paled as they walked around the volcano. Please don't erupt, please don't erupt, please don't erupt…! She thought, hoping it wouldn't erupt and cook them alive, seeing a few Dry Bones wandering around the place.
But as they did, they saw someone walking around, looking around the volcano. It looked like Bowser, but was made of bones.
In short, it was Dry Bowser. "Hey, you!" Yang got his attention.
"Hmm?" Dry Bowser turned to them. "And who are you?"
"Are you Bowser by chance?"
"I am King Bowser the first, if that's what you're implying." Dry Bowser said.
"…Well, you really let yourself go if you're nothing more than a skeleton."
Dry Bowser's eye twitched… well, if it were possible. "What did you say, you brat…?!"
"You heard me. How can you rule a kingdom with a look like that?"
Dry Bowser growled. "You will PAY for that insult!"
"Well, I guess we'll be fighting Bowser's… cousin? Ancestor…?" Ruby wondered.
"Never mind about that, let's just take him down!" Yang smirked as the four got ready.

BGM: Never Let Up! (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team)
Team RWBY ran forward and attacked Dry Bowser, but he jumped back and breathed blue fire at them, forcing them to dodge as he proceeded to punch them, but they quickly avoided and attacked him with their weapons and then Yang went for an uppercut to knock his head clean off.
However, to their surprise, the head glared at them and breathed fire while the body cracked its knuckles and proceeded to punch and kick them, and then throwing bones at them, forcing them to dodge but some of the bones hit them as the head reattached itself and he roared at them, running forward and letting out a powerful punch at Yang, but she managed to block it with the palm of her fist and punched him in his ribcage to send him back.
Dry Bowser growled, as he threw bones at them while also breathing fire, but they dodged it and then Ruby used her semblance to attack him as the tornado went to him, but he held his ground and wasn't moved, and then he was hit by fire and lightning from Weiss's clouds, but he wasn't fazed by them as he ran over.
Ruby proceeded to slash him with her scythe several times, hitting Dry Bowser repeatedly and hitting him with the bullets, then Yang let out a shot, lunging straight to him and using a powerful uppercut to send him in the air, as she then jumped up, but Dry Bowser smirked and breathed fire, but Blake used Gambol Shroud's ribbon to grab her leg and pull her down as Dry Bowser landed on his feet and went straight for them.
However, just as he was about to throw another bone and breathe fire, a blizzard was formed by one of Weiss's clouds, as he stopped and looked around.
"Where are you?" Dry Bowser growled as he looked around, as he was blindly attacked by RWBY as he tried to counter, but he was attacking air instead… and then, he felt his tail being gripped by Yang.
"IN THE LAVA YOU GO!" She screamed, spinning him around and letting him go, as he was launched straight into the lava as he roared before there was a huge splash of lava.
End BGM
"Aw yeah!" Ruby cheered as a drip of lava landed on her hand. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow!" She exclaimed, waving her hand to cool it off. "Hot! Hot!"
"You okay?" Yang asked in concern.
"Yeah… I just found out how hot lava actually is…" Ruby winced, blowing on her hand and seeing a burn mark on it, as she sighed, then they proceeded to get out of the volcano, and seeing Bowser's Castle in front of them, as they didn't say a word and walked forward.
However… what they didn't know was that Dry Bowser emerged from the lava and swam over to where he could easily climb out as he growled. "Hmph… it appears that I have underestimated those four… and it seems like my full strength wasn't with me."
He got up. "No matter, I will destroy everything once I am at my full power… then they will see that I am not to be messed with!" He declared as he walked out of the volcano, determined to destroy everything once he's fully ready.
I would say something about the last chapter is next along with the aftermath, but I want to mention something else.
Nintendo's latest console!
How about that Nintendo Switch, AKA the NX?
I think it's pretty freakin' sweet if you ask me!
