Luigi could feel the stares that were piercing him and his brother, it was like having several Boos about to jump you when one had their eyes turned away. (Bro, we should-a get out!) But Mario, ever the brave soul, wanted to check if they could find out more information if they stayed. (Let's wait a little longer, we might-a get to hear something important.) Kamek had leaked information, who knew what they could learn from staying a few minutes.
The green Koopa saw how the pale female had looked directly at them for a moment, sporting a sinister smile. (I have a bad feeling, we should-a run right now!) They could see the pair of women with non-human traits chatting in hushed voices, getting alarmed when the redhead sniffed the air and stared blatantly at them with a chilling smirk. (Let's -a scram!) Now Mario gave credit to his brother's worries, both turning to the nearest exit in an attempt to escape.
Bowser and King Boo pounced on the pair of mock Koopas who were scrambling for the double-doors, ripping them off their masks and making the shells clatter on the tiles. "Yo there, mustachioed marauders~ Did you really think we wouldn't notice? You must have been fed dunce dumplings~" The ghost had Luigi by one leg, leaving him upside-down and flailing like a Cheep Cheep. The black scleras and eerie purple eyes made the poor man remember the matches against the ghost leader.
Bowser kept Mario by his suspenders, grinning like the Kremling who got the monkey. Both females dwarfed the plumber brothers, being around 7' or 8' (2,30 m), and neither was willing to let their catch go. "May we know why you strolled in MY castle?" Bowser pinched Mario's face with his free hand, getting sadistic enjoyment from the groans of displeasure. "I didn't kidnap your precious princess, and there was no sanctioned attack ordered against your Mushroom Kingdom..."
Mario struggled for a few moments before seeing that it was futile unless he wished to escape pantsless. "We saw the castle a-exploding, so we decided to see what-a caused it." Bowser raised a brow with skepticism, making the plumber go limp with defeat. "It's-a the truth." The kings shared looks that made the twins fear for their future. Then the women let out huffs and dropped the men unceremoniously. "Woah-!"
"I'll give you both this vote of faith. But only if you don't blab anything to your homeland." The Segale brothers fell to their bum and face in front of the two rulers. Bowser knew that his appearance change could be seen as a weakness, even if he remained as strong and fierce as before, so he intended to train to change back to his original form at will. "Okay. But Princess Peach is-a going to invite you to a new sporting meet." The Koopa let out a puff of fire and messed with his hair, irked at the idea. "Knowing her, she won't accept a 'no'."
King Boo had a sudden idea when he heard about the event, his face twisted in a smirk that made Luigi scoot back as much he could. "Mwahaha! Hey pal, we got the solution for our conundrum!" Bowser and the plumbers held quizzical looks. "You see, my friend, we could use this chance to amuse ourselves. I mean, this new appearance of ours is sure going to shock people." The green brother let out a cry of surprise when the Boo suddenly appeared in his personal space. "Weegee, you better tell that princess of yours to open a slot for me!"
Mario began sweating buckets, Bowser's smirk spelled ill things for the future. "You're right, King Boo. Hey, midget." He got grabbed by his suspenders again, getting to face Bowser. "I'll go. But not as Bowser. You better be ready, okay?" With this, the two kings decided that the chat was over, with King Boo opening a way straight into the Mushroom Kingdom. "So long, Mario!" The brothers got punted out from the castle through the portals and got clocked on the head by their shells.
Junior felt something in the middle of the sleep fog, it was pricking at his senses for some reason. It seemed like that there were people tugging at his legs and head at the same time. "LET GO OF HIM! STUPID CHAMP!" Strange, it sounded like Morton, but with a more feminine pitch. "GRWOO! OPEN YOUR MOUTH!" Now it was Roy who was screaming, his voice was changed in the same way, but why? "Haha! It's amazing that he didn't wake up yet!" Was that Larry?
The eyes of the young Koopa flew open, facing into someone's gullet. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Morton and Roy were still struggling with whoever was biting his face, so Larry was the one to come to the rescue. "Champ's trying to eat your face." That was a really bad situation, so Junior joined the efforts to pry off the Chain Chomp off himself. "Stop biting him! Champ!" Morton had been trying to train his pet Chomp, but it was as attentive as a rock and as obedient as a sack of bricks.
*A few minutes of struggling with a stubborn Chain Chomp*
Junior was holding his face, the teeth marks smarted and let out pangs of pain if he made a facial movement. Morton held his pet at arm's length, keeping a grip on its head so it couldn't snap at people. "Gwoon..." Now that there wasn't a crisis to address, everybody noticed that they had human appearances and were currently in King Boo's realm. "We can only wait for Uncle Boo to come and get us." The Boos who had been with Roy had already gone out by their own power, surely up to mischief.
The Koopas tugged at the shirt and shorts covering them, being as weirded out as Bowser at the idea of wearing clothes. Champ had chainmail shaped like a shirt and skirt for the sake of staying whole under its animal instincts. "It feels weird, and why did we turn into girls?" Morton echoed the thoughts of his father. Larry was the only one uncaring of the current situation, playing around with magic and the rubble still floating around, his blue hair trailing behind as he jumped and frolicked.
After a while, King Boo opened a portal, enabling the Koopas and the one Chain Chomp to return to the castle. "Are you feeling well? You aren't feeling pain, right?" Bowser acted like a mama hen, worrying over Junior's bite mark. "Kamek is already checking for a way to revert this change, so don't worry." The turtle king turned to the Koopalings and checked for injuries, shooting Champ a killer glare that made it whimper. Once he was satisfied, he took Junior and the Koopalings in a bear hug. "I'm so relieved you are all safe."
Who knows what the kings will pull during the sports meet? Next chapter will be a description sheet for my and your convenience.
