Interlude 1: In a land of unknown.
When Bowser regained his consciousness, he had found himself another headache, and a queasy body…
Had his plan failed again? Had Mario stomped him once again? Had Mario dumped him in the lava pool again? Had Mario taken Peach away from him again?
…
…
…
Wait, hold up, some ain't right. No.
He hasn't kidnapped Peach yet. In fact, his plan was about to start, that's right, he was…
…
Oh.
In the next instant, a roar that no creature in Remnant ever heard of, shook the very sky and the earth.
"KAMEK!"
And had caused the Grimm in nearby areas to have their attention caught, as they direct their head toward one direction, their instinct tells them a huge source of negative emotion has appeared.
Unbeknownst to the Koopa King and his bad luck, and interestingly enough, this place he is currently in is also a wasteland filled with Grimm… well… down to the brim. And because of this development...
A series of altered destinies like a butterfly effect has started from this very moment.
- In Dark Land?/ Bowser's castle
When everyone wakes up, many things have gone wrong. And so chaos and panic have let loose like a Blue Shell running amok.
Their king is nowhere to be seen, so is their prince, and the Koopalings, and many important henchmen. What's even worse is that Sir Kamek is missing too, one of the remaining rational clear heads of Bowser Kingdom, gone. With the important figure missing, whoever is left with the highest authority is automatically placed in charge.
For their remaining luck, Lady Kammy is that remaining highest authority, someone who knows how to lead people and planning, smart, [and beautiful, may she reminds you], but that is probably the only good news for the minions.
With everything in shambles, and the castle in mess, the first priority is to restore the order of their army, and then they can worry about the next step.
- Bowser's castle/ Throne room
Standing in the empty Throne room, with a long scroll and a feather pen in her hands, a woman seems to be in her late 70's, standing at 6'4'' with a hunching back, a woman with many striking, and hag-like features that strongly resemble a stereotype witch, silver-white short hair in a swing-layer cut that ends in shoulder-length; her old, shrunken face filled with many wrinkles, sharp and pointy nose; with outstretched vampire-like fangs that resemble Magickoopa's fangs; and sharp eyes that seemingly digging into your mind to searching for your deepest embarrassing secret; and gold ring earrings hanging on her vampire-like pointy ears; and a large, brown, oval-shaped glasses seating on her nose.
Dressed just like a witch too, with a light-purple witch hat that has the tip band over, a Bowser emblem badge pin on the hat; clad in a long purple cape with a black inner that flows freely behind her back; a light-purple turtle-neck sweater; long open purple sleeve with pink cuffs; a brown belt with waist bag and many trinkets; white trouser with brown high heel boots. Not to mention a long broom with half cyan and purple puffy cloud-like ends floating beside her.
This is Kammy Koopa, the Right-hand Woman of King Bowser, the 4th highest rank in the entire kingdom, with Prince Junior being 2nd, and Kamek being 3rd. Kammy's word holds great weight in the kingdom.
Checking her magic scroll, the lady Magickoopa carefully look through the orders she had been giving to the minions in the past hour.
。Having the Captain Squad in charge of overseeing working progress. [Checked]
。Having the Goombas and Buzzy Beetles clearing the wreckage or debris. [Checked]
。Having the Koopa Troopa, Shy Guys, and Hammer Bros fixing damaged rooms or objects. [Checked]
。Having Lakitus scouting the whole Dark Land, report anything unusual. [Checked]
。Having the remaining henchmen guarding the other fortress scattering around the Dark Land. [Checked]
。Having the rest of the remaining minions doing the usual patrol and guard duty. [Checked]
。Having the Boos, Dry Bones, and other undead Minions handling reconstruction at night. [Checked]
。Having Kamella in charge, leading the other remaining Magickoopa on finding a spell to reverse their situation. If not, at least find a cure to transform everyone back to normal. [Checked]
And… most importantly...
。Finding Lord Bowser. [ ]
。Finding Lord Junior. [ ]
。Finding Kamek. [ ]
。Finding Koopalings. [ ]
。Finding the missing henchmen. Goomboss, King Bob-omb, King Boo, Petey Piranha, Big Bully, Gooper Blooper, Mummipokey, Major Burrows, Bouldergeist, King Lakitu, Tubba Blubba, Boss Brolder, King Ka-Tuank, Motley Bossblob, Mollusque-Lanceur, and Crystal King. [ ]
Kammy massages her wrinkly face tiredly, she doesn't know if it's the miracle of Star Spirits, they didn't lose any low-rank Minions in this disaster. Most of them only end up being teleported across different locations in the Dark Land. Who later reports through Flying Mails or Koophone calls. But the missing of important leading figures did throw a Rocky Wrench's wrench in their morals. It was all thanks to the Captain squad that manages to calm down the minions.
More importantly, why only the important figures? It's not like those that happen to be the closet of the magic ritual end up teleporting to Star-knows where, she was one of the many that cast the magic, so why did it that only Kamek end up being missing? Alone with few seemly very selective pick of henchmen?
Supposedly she should be really thankful for their situation, thank Stars that General Shy Guy was still with them, at least the small guy can handle unify and dispatch all minions all by himself.
Back at the main issue, she's not sure which part of Mushroom World had they ended up with, doesn't look like they're in the territory of any of the other Kingdom. Or.. are they even on the same planet to begin with? Are they really in a different world? Subcon? Sprixie? Just please don't let it be the Minus World. Kammy silently prays to the Star Spirits, hoping for the safety of her Lord and their people. The irony, considering she once helped imprison the Star Spirits during Lord Bowser's greatest plan.
Solemnly, a bad omen enters Kammy's thoughts. 'Maybe Kamek is right, we're getting too old for these kinds of things, consider that he really did purchase a boat already a while ago.' Midlife crises for the Koopa were never a pretty sight, urrg.
The door to the Throne room suddenly opened, breaking Kammy from her thoughts, as 2 figures hurried in.
A man in 4'6'' with thick black eyebrows, reverse-vampire fangs that stick out from the bottom lips; fluffy short brown hair; dressed in a brown military outfit (World War 2 America uniform.); with a red flag fixed at the top of his head.
This was Captain Goomba, who also suffered the same fate as the rest of the Bowser Kingdom, turning into a human-like hybrid.
Another man in 5'6'' with a white mask held by a brown belt with holes as eyes and mouth, dressed in a red long hoodie coat that ends in upper legs, black pants with blue military boots, a red flag warp behind his head.
This is Captain Shy Guy, the second hand of the Captain Squad. People say he had a cold attitude, but his comrades know he is just a shy guy with a big heart that just likes acting cold. (Not that anyone needs to know...)
The two walk in front of Kammy, as they bring news of the Kingdom's current state to report.
"Lady Kammy, we have registered every available Minion, as well as all other fortress's state." Captain Goomba salutes as he reports to the Right-hand Woman.
"As well as sorting out the side effects of our current condition," Captain Shy Guy adds.
Almost all breathing... or moving creatures had been turning into humanoid-like human-hybrid. Goomba, Koopa, Shy Guy, Piranha Planet, just to name a few, to the castle traps such as Lava Bubble, Bullet Bill, Thwomp, Whomp, but interesting enough, Only Chain Chomp did not transform into human-like, was it because they're dogs?
And they shared a shiver down their spine simultaneously, yeah, when I mean all of them have been changing half-human, I mean all of them. The Dry Bones, Bone Goomba, or Bone Piranha, all have been turned into living human skeletons.
It was actually super terrifying to look at them. Humans are super weird, and disgusting sometimes.
But it becomes even worse when a Shy Guy takes off their mask… let's just say... they didn't earn the name Shy Guy for nothing. Even the Shy Guy themselves are pretty shaken up by their current true face underneath.
Ignoring their reaction, Kammy asked about a more pressing matter at hand. "Are Airships available at the moment?"
"Affirmative! Ma'am, all ships didn't sustain any damage, we're perfectly ready to take off at your command." Captain Goomba salute again.
"Good, I want to form a search team, and have them scouting the land beyond, to see if we can locate Lord Bowser or Lord Junior, or Koopalings and the others."
"That's… a brilliant Idea." Captain Goomba says.
Kammy immediately had her nose up as she took the compliment haughtily. "Of course it is, after all, I am the magnificent, beautiful, and brilliant Kammy Koopa. Ka ha ha ha ha ha!"
Captain Shy Guy looks at their egoistic boss through the poke face mask. "That's… good and well, but who do you have in mind for this team?"
Adjusting her glasses, Kammy smirked. "But of course, I already have a selected group in mind."
"Well, what are you waiting for, tell us." Captain Goomba pressed on, like a kid he was.
But before Kammy could open her mouth, someone flew into the Throne room.
"L-L-L-Lady Kammy!" A Lakitu soldier (Dressed in a yellow and green jumpsuit, riding on a cloud with a smile face.) flying towards them. "Emergency! Some unknown flying creature is spotting coming toward Dark Land!"
"Huh?" The Right-hand woman and the captains exchange looks.
Then, the warning siren of their Kingdom sounds off, indicating they're under attack.
- Back with Bowser
Playing music: SHOWTIME! (Mashup) [Mario & Luigi: B.I.S. × Mario & Luigi: B.I.S. + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]
"Rrrrrrrrraaaaaagg!" With a mighty roar, Bowser's fist embeds into a Beowolf's face, cracking the bone plate, and send the dark beast flying back like a cannonball.
The Koopa King is having an extremely foul mood. Not only because his plan failed, but it failed right before it could even start, humiliating.
Grabbing the jaw of a Beowolf sneaking behind him, Bowser slammed the beast over his shoulder, before using his foot to stomp hard on the head, burying the creature underground.
He was teleported to Star-knows-where, in a dead wasteland that looked super dull and lame. It reminds him too much of that damn hellhole he once ends up in during the whole Chaos Heart incident, too dark, no food, no peach, a bunch of annoying jerks that keep jumping on him. No way to treating a Koopa royal like him!
Grabbing another set of beasts by the throat, Bowser knocked their ugly heads together, before throwing them into another group, strike them down like bowling pins.
And speaking of jerks, there are these black ugly beasts, they just kept coming and coming to him. Asking for trouble.
One that looked like a giant scorpion lunge its sting at Bowser, who effortlessly step aside to grab the tail. To the terror of the giant bug, Bowser starts spinning in place, dragging the bug airborne, and getting faster, and faster. "So-long bug-face!" Before letting go and letting the scorpion smashed into a nearby building, before the building collapsed onto the beast.
Not only are they ugly, but they have the dare to attack him, him! The fearsome Koopa King! This insolent will not stand!
Two gorilla-looking beasts ambushed Bowser from higher-ups, slamming their fists together on the Koopa King.
Being a nice guy, Bowser gave them what they deserved. A fist to the face.
Bowser just holds up his palms and stopped their assault, unimpressed and annoyed, he then returns the favor with two dash punches. Dislocating their jaws and sent them flying.
It does sustain his boiling anger for a bit, but still not enough. But ehh, punching bags are punching bags.
Turning toward the rest that surrounds him again. Bowser cracked his knuckle, a burning sensational emerges from his chest.
However...
Drawing a deep breath, Bowser unleashed his fire breath, engulfing them in a hellish flame, easily breaking the siege that tries to trap him.
The worst thing about all these problems is that he doesn't know if Junior is safe or not.
Placing his hand onto the closest object he could find, Bowser effortlessly rooted a lamp pole, and start swinging and thrusting, opening a path from the sea of enemies. Before a rain of sharp feathers stop his path. He looked up and see a big bird-like thingy trying to turn him into a needle bag.
It makes him annoyed.
Breathing down his flame onto the lamp pole, Bowser threw the makeshift heat spear at the bird-face, skewering the overgrown chicken right off the sky.
It makes him angry.
Just as he's about to continue his assault on the enemy, the ground beneath him crumbled, and a giant worm-like bastard lunged at his face.
It makes him worry.
Quick to react, Bowser holds the bastard by the maw, the jaw of thousands razor-sharp death just an inch away from his head.
It makes him furious!
"You seemed hungry, why don't you eat this! MY TREAT!" With a deep breath, Bowser shoots his fire into the beast's throat, attempting to roast the worm alive from the inner, as the worm starts hissing in agony and struggling to break free from the Koopa King's strong grip.
And it makes him... FURY!
After a few seconds of struggle, the worm's body went limp, the whole body glowing orange from the fire that filled its inside, wheezing for a long breath, Bowser tossed the dead meat aside, failed to notice the body vaporized into dark mist.
Finally having a moment to catch breathe, Bowser inspects his surrounding, another wave of beasts have arrived and have him encircled from all side. Seeing the number of the beast didn't go down no matter how much he fought, Bowser clicked his tongue, while he's always down for a challenge and assert dominance, he doesn't have time for this, he had to get back to his castle, ASAP! The last time he leaves his castle for a few hours, a damn Beanish nerd seized his castle and brainwashed everyone, you can bet all your money that Bowser ain't letting the same mistake happen twice.
He really doesn't want to use this, but he guesses there's not much of a choice here, digging his hand into his shell, Bowser pulled out a Green Power Star. The very same Power Star that caused this whole mess, was teleported alongside him.
Grumbling to himself, Bowser really couldn't tell if this whole deal is a cruel joke or not, because this very thing may be his ticket to getting out of here, but what good would it serve him if he's dead, not that Bowser had been dead many times before, but until he makes sure he's can still come back to life as always, he's not gonna temper fate like an idiot, he may be a hot-head & reckless brute every now & then, but even he knows when to be a cool-head & cautious brute.
Shooking his head, Bowser swallowed the star down in one gulp, immediately, a greenish energy-like aura envelops his whole frame from head to toe, power surges through his whole body. Alright, it's SHOWTIME!
Playing music: Catastrophe - Super Mario Galaxy
Pumping his fist together, Bowser hold his head up and high, with a mighty roar to the sky, he lifts his hands up, a dark aura emits from both hands, and electricity crackles from his fingertip, shooting straight up and reaching the heaven. Immediately, ominous black clouds formed around and covers the sky, followed by booming thunder strikes, the debriefs that had been laying for who knows how long and scattered through this wasted land came to motion, the ground, the broken buildings, and everything, all been lifting to the sky as if losing the gravity.
In the center of this chaos, a sphere made of wasted debriefs and junks forms into existence, getting bigger and bigger as more objects being attached to it like a magnet.
With another booming roar from Bowser, as if the artificial planet gained an actual gravity field, the beasts below at the ground lose their grip on the floor, as they are dragged by the new force and flew up to the floating sphere.
'Only 30 seconds, I gotta end this quick.' Bowser starts a count down in mind as he prepares his finish move.
Playing music: Peach's Castle is Stolen - Super Mario Galaxy
Tighten his muscle, Bowser increased the gravity pull of the makeshift plant he just created, as well as the gravity field on the orbit, those beasts that were pulled by the gravity soon have their body crushed by the high pressure, those that didn't succumb to the force soon have their body crushed by the debriefs sandwiched them into the planet.
'More!' Bowser commanded in his mind, summoning every ounce of power he could get, he pouring all his dark magic into the gravity of this orbit. 'MORE!'
And finally, the artificial planet burst into a small black hole, the very instant the endless death was created, everything that have been gathered around it was reduced into nothingness.
With another final roar, Bowser slammed his fist tight, as the black hole close up, dragging everything with it into oblivion.
As if on timing, the greenish aura fade from Bowser's body, and he hunched down to taking a break. Ugg, it has been a long while since he performed high-level dark magic, especially something like a black hole. Not to mention the terrifying possibility of an amok black hole, he's just glad that his gamble has paid off. Out of controlled Magic is always the worst.
Speaking of magic, when he finds Kamek, he's gonna kick his butt so hard that'll send the Magickoopa flying straight to the moon.
Dusting his hand, Bowser looked around to search for something, and that's when his eyes land on the target he's looking for.
Why is he always surrounded by idiots? And speaking of idiots...
Several yards behind him, three men were cowering in fear behind a broken lamp poll that somehow holds firm on the ground.
One short man in 4'5'', with thick black eyebrows that was frowning; reverse-vampire fangs stick out from the bottom lips; fluffy brown hair in a puffy bob cut; dressed in brown military outfit (World War 2 America uniform.), with a blue cape hanging on his shoulder, and a black scout hat with white fur ball and a Bowser emblem.
Another man is a tall man in 6'2'', with blonde short hair; his mouth in a slightly V-shape line; a pair of white wings behind his back, dressed in yellow light plate armor that covers his body (greek armor without the helmet); arms, elbow and shoulder guards; red pants with knees and legs guards, and green shoes; a red water bucket paint black wear on his head, with the Bowser emblem print on it; and a red Koopa shell on his back.
The last person is a mysterious man in 5'9'', with a white mask hold by a brown belt with holes as eyes and mouth, completely covered his face to the world; dressed in a green hoodie and a fancy wind coat with yellow buttons; white pants and brown boots, a large brown backpack on his back, filled with tools such as a magic wand, shovel, hammer, Bullet Bill Blaster, and a black flag with Bowser emblem print on it.
This Trio is known as Elite Trio, constructed by Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy. They are a unique special force of the Bowser Kingdom.
Currently, they're rankless, as Bowser hasn't assigned a job for them for a while. They're basically a "Three Random Guys." in existence. But they consider themselves as King Bowser's personal bodyguards regardless. Despite the usually overlooked status, these three will work hard to achieve promotion of any kind.
But currently, they're just too scared to do their job. As they've witnessed their King's wrath first hand.
"Are you three coming or not?" Bowser impatiently asked, his ever-low patient has reached a new low level, almost none exist you could say.
They look at each other nervously, before looking back at the human-looking guy that was a creature that was once known as Bowser.
Standing in full glorious 7'8'' tall, the imposing huge man with fiery red hair with a green base that looked like burning fire, burning red eyebrows and small shaved beard; beast-like red eyes that could rival any predators; bull horns and shark-like teeth; a green spiked Koopa shell rests on his back; and his yellow spiky tail hanging behind his butt.
Dressing in a stylish mobster boss look, his black spiked band still on his neck, arms, and wrists; a yellow shirt with a black vest; green tie with his own emblem print on it; a white mink scarf hanging around his neck; black business pants holding by a silver belt with chains; and black leather shoes with silver spike guard.
This is the now human-ed Koopa King, while he'll always prefer his fearsome monstrous look, he has to admit he does look good in this current state. Too bad that Princess Peach isn't here to see his new look.
'I wonder if Peach would like this look?' Putting his hand on the chin, Bowser thought in the back of his mind, and then his mind drifts into a much more personal fantasy. Where Peach would snuggle against his chest in deep love, and a tied-up crying Mario locked in a cage in his throne room, watching the Koopa King and his future queen being a loveable couple.
Unbeknownst to Bowser, his face morphed into a goofing daze, which is super unfitting compared to the scenery around him.
And around Bowser, lies the result of his storming fury, hundreds upon hundreds of black creatures laying around in defeat, either knocked down in piles, embedded into floors or walls, or straight-up burning into ashes, and just far behind the Koopa King, lies the aftermath of his destruction rampage, the already in ruined & shambled buildings turned into nothing but knocked down piles of rubbles during his battle.
The Elite Trio has witnessed the most epic and downright terrified beat-down that ever existed. And if they have to give their thoughts, it was super surreal.
The black beasts that were lucky enough to survive end up scattering away with their tail between their legs. A nasty glare from Bowser had sent fear down their very soul, and seeing the man in front of them was truly a terrifying force, the black beasts retreated. Not wanting to meet the same fate as its fallen kin.
Said man on the other hand just wants to get out of this place as soon as possible.
"If you three are done gawking like an idiot, help me find out where exactly I am at right now!" The King quickly break from his daydream and roared, which was enough to make the three move their legs.
"Y-Y-YES SIR!"
Seeing the three idiots off their way, Bowser massaged his face tiredly.
Just…
What has he gotten himself into this time?
*Growl* A loud grumbles, unlike any creatures, echo through the empty wasteland.
And the source of it?
Was Bowser's belly...
"Oh crud, I'm hungry."
Unknown to him, a raven was watching him very intensely from a nearby roof of ruins...
- Back with Bowser's castle.
Playing music: Bowser Castle (Mashup) [Mario & Luigi: B.I.S. × Mario & Luigi: B.I.S. + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]
The ground troops were rushing left and right, each minion carrying their own duty at hand, the battle that has transpired in their kingdom may be over, but they know this might just be the beginning of another battle and another battle in the foreseeable future.
Those that were wounded were rushed to the medical bay for treatment, luckily, nobody meets their game over. Those that were healthy and capable were dispatched to take shifts and guard the Kingdom, and the weapon factory of the Kingdom was once again activated to produce more Cannonballs, Bullet Bills, and Bob-Ombs, this time in their original Mushroom World appearance. Those that were turning humanoid were temporarily prohibited on the battlefield until further notice as they don't want to risk anything. The whole kingdom is instructed to taking the format of Code M, everyone is put on high alert and awareness just as if Mario would come here, tension-filled the volcanic land.
They have successfully repelled the enemies that dare to declare warfare against them. And now they prepare to be ready for the upcoming battle that may happen at any moment.
In the throne room of Bowser Kingdom, Kammy Koopa have summoned every available henchman and any high-rank minions to a strategy meeting, Boom Boom, Pom Pom, Chief Chilly, TutanKoopa, Egyptian Koopa, Huff & Puff, King Kaliente, Baron Brrr, King & Queen Hisstocart, Prince Bully, just to name a few.
Among the sea of powerful warriors, a short figure can be seen standing on what appears to be a makeshift pedal stool, gathering everyone's attention, a bulletin board filled with pictures and writing stood behind him.
With a height of 3'9" with short curly white hair, Clad in a white officer cap with black brim, red trim, and a gold Shy Guy emblem with wings, the genetic Shy Guy mask worn firmly on the face; dressed in a child-size white military suit with red lines tucked nicely with deep blue military boots, decked with gold shoulder patches and a gold Bowser medal with a red ribbon on it. This small figure is General Guy, the organizing genius of Bowser Kingdom, in the age of 13, he has already proven his brilliant mind of being an organized genius, his ability to perfectly analyze each people and the best way to make use of their ability efficiently allowed the Shy Guy army rise up as a force and build up their power and influence with his advice. His precise vision and judgment soon make him rise in rank, entrusted by Bowser as the leading figure of the Shy Guys.
The only downside with him being the General is his young age, brilliant of a mind he may be, he is still very much a child, and his taste in many things. And so the appearance and atmosphere of the Shy Guy army have been... very childish-like as one would put it, their operation center and headquarter have been built with the toy box aesthetic in mind. And his personal war machine... is a toy tank, because he's too young to pilot an actual tank, they had to compromise some rules.
Anyway, back to General Guy.
"Your attention, everyone! Three hours ago, around 1600 hour, Dark Land were attacked by an unknown force, our culprit being non-other than a bunch of U.F.C (Unidentified Flying Creature) made with black & white organic material." General Guy points his pointer at his brief report, pictures taken by Lakitu soldiers on those odd beasts have been printed out for everyone to see.
The one he is pointed at is a picture of a giant black bird with a mask-like, white bony faceplate overlaying the upper front of its head. With four glowing yellow eyes with red lines, two on each side of its head. The headpiece also includes a dorsal spine or fin, reminiscent of that on the heads of condors and some prehistoric pterosaurs. Then, two clawed "fingers" extending forwards from the outermost wing joint that seemly looked like a joint that an Archaeopteryx or Pterodactyl would have. The rest of the part being the talon, feathers that resemble most bird kind.
"After discussion with the Magikoopa team, it was found that these creatures do not exist in any part of the known historical record, so, the question is, what are these beasts? and where does this leave us?" General Guy looked at Lady Kammy, signing her turn to speak.
"This may sound hard to believe, but I have reasonably believed that we're no longer on the Mushroom World." Kammy comes forward straight with the matter, her mind being tired enough by today's transpired craziness.
Despite being the 4th highest rank and well-respected head figure, the absurdness of the situation makes many find her word hard to believe.
Among the voice of doubt and questioning, a hand raised up.
It belongs to a guy with a black Hammer Bro helmet specially made with white spike spout from both side of the helmet like horns, the person have short spiky black hair with yellow tips, cyan eyes, and a yellow facemask over his mouth being the genetic Bro-Koopa V-shapes flat beak, he wears a breastplate after the image of a Koopa belly, underneath his breastplate was black long sleeve shirt with cream-white shoulder, elbow, and arm guard, a pair of fingerless black gloves; a black Koopa Shell wear on his back; on his left shoulder is a green band with Bowser emblem, a white whistle hanging on his neck, black long pants with cream-white crouch, knee, leg guards, and a pair of black boots.
This person is Army Hammer Bro (6'0"), the only Hammer Bro that ever earns the high-rank title among his peer, and one of the few Minions that actually defeat Mario before (More like capture, but nobody cared about that.), after the incident of Vibe Scepter at Bowser Villa, he has been assigned as newbie trainer, away from the frontline, handling Minion training. He was actually excited to finally have another chance of getting that damn Mario Bros, and now everything is ruined.
The grumpy expression present on his face says it all. "Sigh... let's just say we believe you. Lady Kammy, how can you be so sure? That these creatures haven't been recorded yet doesn't really means or tie to the whole different world deal, it just doesn't prove enough." He raised a solid point, as many others nods their head in concur.
"I'm very aware of that, but I assure you all, my theory didn't just end there." Kammy recomposed herself, still tiring on the inside, the fact that those creatures disappeared upon death makes the whole getting sample for research a whole lot difficult, without anything for reference, Kammy was out of ideas and options, right now she can only use any available knowledge to her advantage.
"Had any of you succeed in making contact with any friends across the world?" Kammy asked, if her theory of a different world is correct, they shouldn't be able to contact anyone back in Mushroom World, moreover, any electronic device won't be able to access any existing online network. She may not be able to keep updated with the latest technology, but she least knows how those things operate and the basic science behind them,
As if proven her correct, the silence she received strengthened her confidence, now, another point.
"Kamella." Kammy called, and the second-hand disciple turned to face the nanny witch, a nervous look as if knowing what she was about to ask. "Had anyone succeeds in connect Warp Pipe to other Kingdoms?" As the question came out, the room falls in silent, practically everyone turns their head to the High-Magic Magikoopa, all eager to learn the truth.
Standing in 6'7", the female Magikoopa dressed in a dark-violet robe with petal-like sleeves and bottom, red frills along the collar, bottom, and sleeves, and white interior, on her waist is a belt with many magical trinkets just like Kammy's, and in her hand is a specially made oka Magic wand with a red orb contains a Power Star inside it. With messy long straight yellow hair, green eyes with a pair of silver frame round glasses, a V-shape mouth with reverse-vampire teeth sticking out from both sides, a green lipstick, pointy ears with red marble earrings, this is Kamella, the lone-moon-witch that studies Moon Magic, and the current disciple of Kammy Koopa.
Seeing many eyes laid onto her, Kamella feels her face heating up under the pressure, but steers herself straight. She had a question that needs to be answered. "Well, to answer your question, Lady Kammy, no, we weren't able to connect Warp Pipe to any of the Kingdom, we can link the existing pipes across the Dark Land, but that's about it, anywhere outside Dark Land has been resulted in rejection as if the connection link to those pipes are blocked out by an outside force."
Hearing her explanation, many start mumbling among themselves, this time much louder and uncertain. Warp Pipe unable to connect a link? The case of a warping location being blocked out wasn't unheard of, if the end of one side is blocked, the other end won't be able to transport anyone, but now they're talking about Pipes across the whole Mushroom World being blocked out from Dark Land. The chance of someone pulling a massive, well-organized prank on them is lower than the Little Chain Chomp winning in Game Guy's Sweet Surprise on a 64x bet (which is 0.346%). Basically impossible.
Looking down at her pocket watch, Kammy's mind drifts to an early moment of the day, she have asked the Scarlet Wing Paratroopa squad to take a quick flight around the outside world, if her hunch is correct as it usually is. They mostly would spot lands or things they have never seen, which would prove her theory of being in another world.
But fate had a different mind in store, as she's about to receive another proof that would seal every single trace of doubt from everyone. A proof too strong even to her liking.
The door to the throne room bursts open, as multiple minions quickly rush in, almost stumbling on their newly acquired limb proportion, out of breath, and faces paled. "T-the, t-t-t-the, t-thehehe... the... THE!"
Everyone turned their face toward the interrupting minions, worried about what scared them like this.
Years of dealing with Mushroom World's bizarreness & wackiness did not prepare them for what the minions were about to say.
"THE MOON IS BROKEN!"
And... around the same time on the other side of the world, a group of disheartened Royal Koopa & Henchmen were trying to wrap their heads around the idea that the moon is freaking broked when one of them notice the shattered moon in Beacon Academy.
