3 Days Before Blake Went on a Mission with Samus
"I know what it's like to lose someone you hold dear. Right when Junior was born… my wife suddenly died from complications. They did everything to get her on a quick recovery… but there was nothing they could do. Right before my wife died… she told me to raise our son to the best he can be, and to not blame me or anyone else for her death."
"Bowser…"
"I don't like to talk about my late wife… I get all emotional and… heh… who has time for that, right?"
Bowser's words echoed in Kyoko's mind as she was sitting in her office, overlooking Toad Town. She still was trying to wrap her head around how someone like Yukari would just simply slap the Future Foundation's HQ into Toad Town just like that.
She said something about boundaries and her gaps, but it was something that not even she could comprehend. Not to mention how she was able to bring the folks at Jabberwock Island so quickly.
But her mind switched back to Bowser. She knew not to pry… but yet, something about him openly mentioning his late wife intrigued her. She died from complications… but she wondered why he doesn't like to talk about it.
It's time she did a little investigating.
Meanwhile, with Weiss…
Weiss lay in her bed after putting their savings into the vault, she was happy… but she also felt mixed. On the one hand, being filthy rich again felt nice… and yet, on the other hand, being poor and on the same level as the other common folk around her felt… better to her More… humbling.
As she looked at the ceiling in front of her, her mind started to wander… and then thought of that one experience inside Bowser's body.
"I love you… You set my soul on fire! It is a spark, just a little spark… no, it is a flame… a big roaring flame! I can feel it now…"
"We have GOT to get him on a date."
Weiss sat up, knowing what she had to do. She felt bad for Bowser… so she thought the only way to make the guy happy… is to set him on a date.
She climbed out of the window, something that her mother, of all people, taught her as she landed onto the grass and walked over to Azure who was napping near the pool while Calyrex was chilling on a flotation device.
"Hey boy." Weiss said as Azure perked up, then she got on his back. "Come on, let's go for a ride." She said as Azure smiled and flew up into the air. "Alright, to Bowser's Castle!" She said as Azure turned his head, looking at her as if she lost her mind. "I know, I'm crazy… but let's not worry about that!" She said as Azure nodded and flew off to Bowser's Castle.
"Zzzz… wha…?" Calyrex opened his shades. "…Eh, probably nothing." He said as he put his shades down and resumed his nap.
Meanwhile, at Bowser's Castle…
BGM: Bowser's Castle (Fortune Street)
"There, that should do it." Bowser said, dusting his hands off, seeing that everything in the vault was back in place. "How's the security system holding up?"
"Secured!" Kamek saluted. "I also added in a little something extra just in case Wario came back for more of his treasure hunting shenanigans."
"Excellent." Bowser smirked, then turned to both sides of the walls where they were being closed off from Lakitus, Fire Bros and Spikes while a few Sumo Bros tore the tracks right off. "Good, now the eyesore is gone."
"So, what are you gonna do with the rest of the tracks?" Bowsette asked.
"Reroute it to go around the castle."
"Works for me!" Bowsette nodded as they walked out while closing the vault, then they wandered into the courtyard.
"Lord Bowser!" A Koopatrol approached them. "We have urgent news!"
"What is it?" Bowser asked.
"We have a Rathalos coming in hot!"
"A Rathalos?" Bowsette asked. "Is it the same one that's hanging around the Smash Mansion?"
"No, this one's different, m'lady." He explained. "This one looks more... blue-ish?"
"Blue?" Bowser raised an eyebrow.
"Technically, the correct term would be Azure Rathalos." Kamek said. "...And the only one I know who has such a creature is-"
Suddenly, Azure landed on the ground as Weiss hopped off. "Here ya go, sweetie." Weiss said, pulling out some meat out of her pocket and tossing it to him, where he would happily eat it up.
"Weiss? What are you doing here?" Bowser asked. "Is this about the Fish Bones that Junior put in your pool as a prank?"
"No, this isn't about-... wait, what?"
"Nothing!" Bowser quickly said.
"...Ya know, that would explain the bite marks on Winter's legs." Weiss mumbled. "But that's not the point!"
"Then what is it?"
"We need to talk." Weiss said and grabbed his arm. "Let's go." She then dragged him away to the throne room.
"Whoa!" He yelped. "How are you so strong all of a sudden!" He said, while Bowsette and Kamek looked at each other with confused expressions.
End BGM
Once in the throne room...
"A date? Is that what this is all about?" Bowser asked.
"Yes." Weiss nodded. "I think it's time we get yourself a girlfriend."
"Done and done! I'll set up a kidnapping for Peach right away. I'll get the table set, put up some romantic mus-"
"No!" Weiss shook her head. "That's not going to work out."
"Oh, you don't know that! It'll work out great!"
"Right, like all the other times you've kidnapped Peach?"
"What's wrong with a little date?"
"You think Peach will like your mop breath?"
"Eh, I'm sure she'll get pa-... wait, how did you know about that?"
"We saw the footage of you making out with a mop that had Peach's colors on it."
"How did you...?!"
"Memory banks."
"You peeked into my brain?!"
"Hey, you wanted us to jog your memory over the code for the safe. Your little memory system tried to find said code for the safe... and what do we find? That horrid image. So, really, this is on you."
"That is not...! ...Okay, you're right. Rrrgh... I never thought my own brain would betray me."
"Honestly, though… I think it's time you found someone else." Weiss said.
"Nonsense! Peach is the only one for me!" Bowser said as he walked off.
"If that is the case, then how come Peach doesn't return the affection?" Weiss asked.
"She plays hard to get!"
"Is that it… or does she really truly love you?"
Bowser stopped dead in his tracks. "…Where are you going with this?"
"Think about it… you kidnap Peach all the time, you duke it out with us and the Mario Bros, we rescue her, Peach has a romantic moment with Mario… rinse and repeat. Does she ever respond back to your feelings?"
"I…"
"Look, I get it… Peach is a very attractive woman and let's be honest, I'm pretty sure a lot of guys have a crush on her, counting you and Mario, but come on… sooner or later, before you know it, the two are going to get married. So where would that leave you?"
"I'll just have to postpone the wedding as long as possible."
"Bowser…"
Bowser let out a sigh. "Alright, fine… you raise a good point. But just so we're clear, I've lied to Junior that Peach is his mother and he still calls her that out of affection. He needs a mother… because he's never had one."
Weiss softly smiled. "I get that… which is why we're going to change it." She pulled out her scroll. "Because as of today, we're going to get you a woman!"
"What are you-"
"Ever heard of dating apps? They're all the rage… and I believe it's time we get you hooked up."
"No no no! Not a dating app! I've heard the horror stories on those and they ain't pretty!"
"Come on, what's the worst thing a crazy woman would do to you? Kidnap you? Because I'm pretty sure they won't get anywhere if they drug you."
"…Fair point."
"Let's see, what do you want… do you wanna go with Tender or do you wanna go Bumblebee?"
"Which one's better?"
"Doesn't really matter." Weiss said. "…Eh, let's go with Tender."
"I seriously think this is a bad idea."
"Nonsense." Weiss said. "Now then, what is your age…"
"Not going to reveal my age."
"Ooooh, going the mysterious route are we? That's fine with me." Weiss said. "Okay, N/A… height?"
"Tall enough to tower over you and your friends."
"…Six foot." Weiss added. "Weight?"
"I've got a slender bod, thank you very much!"
"Heavyweight…" Weiss typed it in. "How toned are you?"
"Hello? Have you SEEN these muscles?"
"Definitely well-toned. Into females… eh… preferred type?"
"No princesses. …Oh… that left an odd taste in my mouth."
"Alright, we just need to add your name and profile pic." Weiss said. "Give me a pose!" Bowser started flexing. "Atta boy!" She snapped a picture and put it in the app.
"…Hang on a moment." A voice spoke up as they saw Bowsette approach them. "You gotta be more good looking than that." She said.
"What's wrong with my bod?" Bowser put his hands on his hips.
"Oh, nothing… but this requires a bit of a woman's touch." She said as she took the scroll and hummed to herself. "A little touch of this, a little bit of photoshopping there… aaaaand you're good to go." She said, handing the scroll to Bowser… where he would see an animated version of Doug Bowser.
"AAAAH! YOU MADE ME BALD AND HUMAN?!"
"I made you look handsome!"
"There is nothing handsome about being bald!"
"Hmm…" Weiss looked at the scroll and immediately, a name popped into her head as she typed it in. "Ta-dah! Your profile picture is set."
"YOU NAMED ME DOUG?!"
"…Oh, right, I forgot something." Weiss said, adding something in it. "Here we are."
"Doug… Bowser…" Bowser glared at Weiss. "That's a little better, but I want something else!"
A little bit later…
"Okay, so we added your emblem in the background to make you look like a follower of you and on top of that, we changed your name to "Doug Bowser - The Mightiest and Awesomest Man alive. Bowser Rules" Weiss said.
"Ha! That's better… but I still don't like the idea of becoming human."
"And now… we just accept." Weiss said, confirming it while also high fiving Bowsette.
"This is so not gonna work."
"Oh, ye of little faith, bro. It'll work."
"Not with a ridiculous face like that! There's no way people are gonna like it… because let's face it, that is not a good looking gu-"
"Wow! Fifty hits already!" Weiss said.
"SAY WHAT?!" Bowser shoved Weiss away.
"Waaaah!"
"Now what was that about the profile looking ridiculous?" Bowsette smirked.
"With this many hits… alriiiiight! Let's set up a booth for Speed Dating! We're gonna see if I'm compatible with anyone!"
"Yeah!" Weiss nodded after getting up.
Back with Kyoko…
"Here we are." She said, staring at the castle as she walked over… and then the castle gates opened up as Bowser walked out with equipment, and Weiss and Bowsette followed him with Roman, Rei, Kamek and General Guy following them, none of them noticing Kyoko.
"What is...?" She wondered as she followed them where she would see them making a booth.
Speed Dating? Kyoko thought as she wandered into it. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"We're getting this big lug a date." Roman responded.
"Here's what we got on the app!" General Guy said, handing her the scroll.
Kyoko raised an eyebrow as she looked through it. "Catfishing, really? I never thought you would stoop to that level."
"It was her idea." Bowser said, pointing to Weiss.
"I'm not the one who photoshopped his face." Weiss defended, pointing to Bowsette.
"Ah, but you're the one who suggested he get a date." Bowsette said. "Soooo, sorry hon, you're on your own here."
Weiss sweatdropped. "I never thought this would bite me in the butt..."
Kyoko sighed. "Alright, I'll bite. Why are you doing this?"
"Because he needs a date other than Peach." Weiss responded. "...I've seen things."
"So have I. Try me." Kyoko folded her arms.
"Bowser made out with a mop that looked like Peach." Weiss responded.
Kyoko barely contained a snicker. "Oh... that is hilariously sad. Alright, let's see how this turns out, and once we're done here, I need to ask Bowser something."
"Right. Let the Speed Dating commence!" Kamek exclaimed.
BGM: Swing a Fish To Drive Away Flies (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
"Birdo! Buh-Buh-Birdo!" A Red Birdo waved.
"Ack! No! Pass!" Bowser shook his head, remembering what happened in the Power Tennis tournament.
"Ya know, the citizens in New Donk City thought it would be a good idea for me to date, but I don't think you're my type." Pauline said.
A tower of Biddybuds approached Bowser, all of them winking at him.
"Pass." Bowser said.
"Oh great, I've been catfished by Bowser. No thank you!" Toadette groaned.
A Blooper came floating by, winking at Bowser.
"I know where this is going. HELL NO!" Bowser yelled.
"Oh goodness, uh... this is awkward..." Velvet shyly said. "Sorry, but um... I'm gonna have to decline... sorry."
"Ya know, I don't think this is gonna work out. Relationships are so much work... I'd rather not." Hilda said.
"...I swear, this is Ingrid getting back at me for eating her cake." Lysithea mumbled. "Nope, not into you."
"This is the last time I take dating advice from Oobleck, Port and Ozpin..." Glynda said in annoyance.
"Mmm... how fast can you swim?" Nessa asked.
"Does swimming in lava count?"
"No."
"Aww..."
"You remind me of Drednaw... that's... not good." Bea said.
"Pffft, this is rich! I just barely got into this town and i'm being catfished by a turtle! Get a load of this guy! Hahaha!" Akane laughed.
"Hmm, I know this will turn a few heads in a photo, but I don't think I'm looking into an interspecies relationship..." Mahiru said.
"PFFFT, HAHAHAHAHA!" Hiyoko laughed, falling on her back as she was with Mahiru. "You, of all people, are catfishing?! HAHAHAHA! I CAN'T! I CAN'T BREATHE! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Little brat..." Bowser mumbled.
["Um... can we just be friends?"] Neo asked while blushing.
"Oh goodness me! It's tempting, but I don't think it will go out the way you think it'll go." Camilla said.
"Lord Bowser, I love you... but I don't love you that much." Marnie said with a blush. "I'd rather date someone like Neo or Gloria..."
"Neo, eh?" Roman smirked playfully.
"Roman, don't get any ideas!" Marnie said, causing him to snicker.
Neo and Marnie? Huh... Weiss thought.
"Pfft, not gonna happen!" Marisa said.
"That's a nope from me." Reimu said.
"Yeah, no, not happening." Samus said with her arms folded.
"Oh, my, this is flattering but I don't know if it'll work out well..." Rosalina blushed.
"Flattering as it is, you're just not my type." Bayonetta chuckled.
"AAAAAAH!" Bowser ran off screaming.
"Wait, come back! I just want to know what you look like underneath that shell! I want to cut it off! There won't be much blood, promise!" Peri chased after him... only to get electrocuted from Kyoko's Megaphone Gun.
"That's a massive no from me." Kyoko said.
"Agreed." Everyone else nodded.
"Sorry Bowser-chan, but Ibuki wishes to remain friends! She wishes you good luck on your future girlfriend, though!"
"Wait wait, what? I thought a dating app was just dating suggestions for me and Pit! And I thought Speed Dating was a quick and fast date!" Ruby said. "Sorry Bowser, I'm not into you!"
"I really gotta give you dating advice..." Yang sighed. "...Wait, where's the dork?"
"You know, you look nothing like your profile." A big woman said.
"Um... this is just a massive misunderstanding..." Pit said, sweatdropping.
"I can work with this. C'mere and give me some sugar, you fool!"
Pit paled. "Yipe! COMING RUBY!" He yelled and took off running.
"Come back here, little man!"
"HEY! That is MY boyfriend!" Ruby yelled, getting between the two which resulted in a fighting dust cloud between the two.
"Okay, what's going on here?" Blake asked.
"Her idea." Everyone said, pointing to Weiss.
"...Really, you too, Kyoko?" Weiss glanced at her.
"Oooh, playing matchmaker are we~?" Yang teased, causing her to facepalm.
End BGM
"Alright, I give up." Bowser said.
"No no, wait! We haven't interviewed the others yet!" Weiss protested.
"Weiss, this whole idea was stupid." Bowser said, not having the energy to punch her. "I'm going back home to watch TV or something..."
"Oh hey-a Bowser!" A familiar Italian accent said as they turned to see Mario walking in. "I was just coming to ask you if you wanted to go golfing, but I saw a massive line and... what's going on? And why is Ruby standing on top of a woman like she's playing Queen of the Hill?"
"My boyfriend!" Ruby said, holding her scythe as if she was holding a flag, all the while the woman was groaning.
"Trying to get Bowser a date." Weiss said.
To everyone's surprise, Mario's facial expression turned into a sympathetic one as he walked over and patted Bowser on the back.
"HUH?!" RWBY and Pit yelled in surprise.
"Just when you thought you've seen everything..." Weiss said.
"You've never told them, haven't you?" Mario asked.
"Told us what?" Roman asked, now looking intrigued.
Bowser let out a sad sigh. "Guys, there's something you all need to see." He said. "And I think it'd be best if Junior were here."
"Whoa, hold up now! You think that's a good idea?" Bowsette asked.
"Sire, with all do respect, I highly advise that you wait until he's older or you never tell him at all." Kamek said.
"Indeed, even I think this is a bad idea!" General Guy agreed.
"No, it's time for him to know." Bowser shifted his gaze to Rei. "Does she know?"
"Well, bits and pieces... I never get the whole story because my wife always cries when she tries to tell me."
Bowser let out a soft chuckle. "You always were a crybaby, sis."
"Okay, one, I have a more sensitive heart than you and two, it's not my fault that it's so freakin' sad." Bowsette said, already tearing up just thinking about it. "Oh gods, here we go..."
"Is this... about her?" Kyoko asked as Bowser solemnly nodded. "We're all ears."
"I'll show you the way." Mario offered, guiding everyone somewhere while Bowser took a deep breath and headed back to his castle, while Kamek dispersed the crowd.
Later, at the border between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Bowser Kingdom...
Bowser would land his Koopa Clown Car on the ground, Junior accompanying him. "Oh? I've never seen this gravestone before." Junior said as the duo approached the gravestone with everyone else there as General Guy and Mario already had their hats off.
Junior approached the gravestone, reading what it said.
Here lies Solana Koopa
"Solana Koopa?" Junior tilted his head as Bowser knelt down next to him.
"This, son... is your mother."
"What?!" Junior said in surprise.
I knew it... Kyoko thought.
"Will you... tell me more about her?" Junior asked.
Bowser nodded. "Yes, of course. You see, back in the day..."
"Grrr... that no good Mario!" Bowser grumbled.
"A few years had passed since my first kidnapping of Princess Peach, and the Mario Bros had thwarted me once again. As such, I needed to let off some steam..."
Bowser continued to grumble to himself... right when he wandered into a garden of Fire Flowers.
"Ack! My Fire Flowers!" A voice cried as Bowser would turn to a large Koopa like him, though she was much slimmer than him, her hair was a maroon color, her snout was a bit smaller, and she was wearing a small blouse. "Watch it, your clumsiness!"
"Oh, I'm clumsy? I'm not the one who decided to build a bunch of Fire Flowers in my path!"
"You're off the pathway, you oaf!"
"Who are you calling an oaf, you cretin?"
"I am, you sorry excuse of a king!" She yelled, and then punched Bowser on the face.
"Ooof! Why you...!" Bowser snarled, proceeding to punch her in kind, as she would respond with a slug to the face, which resulted in a massive slugfest between the two for several hours right up to sundown.
Both of them sat down in exhaustion, panting, surprised at both of their strengths. "Wow... so they're right. You are strong as they say..."
"You're not too shabby yourself." Bowser admitted. "...You got a name?"
"Solana."
Bowser chuckled a bit. "Nice to meet ya."
"Same to you."
"Ever since that day, we met up every so often. The more we talked, the more we got to know each other... and the happier I was becoming."
"Indeed. It had gotten to the point where me, Luigi and Peach noticed a change in his mood whenever he kidnapped Peach or the two of us beat him. It was no skin off his back... and that's when we met Solana." Mario explained.
"Even I had taken notice of this." Kamek chimed in. "It was at that moment when I knew the child I helped raised was growing up. It admittedly brought a tear to my eye."
"A few years after we had met, we got married." Bowser said, happily chuckling. "We had a happy life together, and Solana even shared gardening tips with Peach and Mario from time to time."
"So uh... why kidnap Peach if you were married?" Pit asked.
"It was more of a hobby at that point."
"Oooh, got ya!"
Mario and Luigi rushed into the door. "Alright Peach, we're here to... save... you...?" Mario blinked, seeing Peach hugging Solana.
"About time you guys got here!" Bowser said. "I was worried i'd have to come over and kidnap the both of ya myself!"
"What's going on here?" Luigi asked.
Kamek cleared his throat. "I am pleased to announce... that Queen Solana is pregnant!"
"WHAT?!" The Bros yelled.
"Oh my gosh, i'm so happy for you two!" Peach exclaimed, happily hugging Solana and Bowser.
"Heeeey! Way to go, big guy!" Mario said, fist bumping Bowser while Luigi high fived him.
"A new addition is coming and i'm one happy Koopa! Gahahaha!" Bowser said proudly and proceeded to give the bros noogies. "Just don't be too rough on 'em when we still proceed to kill each other!"
Mario laughed. "We'll be careful around him... or her!"
"Yeah!" Luigi grinned.
"However... when Junior was supposed to be born any day now... is when tragedy struck."
"Hmmhmmmhmm~" Solana hummed on a very cloudy day, as she was busy tending a Fire and Ice Flower Garden when she noticed some movement in the corner of her eye. "Oh, is it that pesky Monty Mole again?" She wondered... but then suddenly, a Putrid Piranha Plant popped out of the ground. She let out a gasp and quickly got up, attempting to breathe fire at it but it had ducked and then lunged at her, where she barely moved to protect her massive baby bump and got bit on her arm. "Agh!" She yelped while also using her strength to uproot the Piranha Plant and tossed it away where it withered on sight. "Ugh..."
"I had witnessed the whole thing..." Kamek said. "I turn my back for one second just to plant some Fire Flowers and that's when I heard her yelp in agony. The moment I turn around, that's when I saw the Putrid Piranha Plant... and then she collapsed soon after she uprooted that nasty creature. I don't know if you know this... but Putrid Piranhas have very poisonous bites... very few survive such an encounter if they are bitten, but I did everything in my power to try to get her to live. I had told some of the minions to go get Lord Bowser..."
"LORD BOWSER! LORD BOOOWSEEEER!"
"Huh?" Bowser wondered as he was approaching Peach's Castle, the latter was out on the balcony waiting to get kidnapped by the happy Koopa King. "What's wrong? Can't you see she's waiting to get kidnapped?" He asked as a Hammer Bro whispered into his ear... as his face darkened. He then turned toward the castle. "I'M CALLING OFF THE KIDNAPPING!" He yelled and took off running, early running over a Hammer Bro.
"...Huh?" Peach tilted her head.
A very heavy rain started pouring down on Bowser, but he didn't care as he was focused on heading back to his castle as quick as he could. "Solana, hang in there!" He said.
"Come on... come on...!" Kamek said, trying every magic spell that he had to get the poison out of her. "Come on!" He said hurriedly as Solana was breathing heavily.
"Kamek... I don't think i'll make it..."
"No! We are going to save yo-"
"Kamek... save our child. Focus on him..."
"What? But m'lady, I think I got-"
"That's an order... please..."
Kamek sighed. "Very well. Let's focus on the heir to the throne." He said solemnly as he aimed his wand at her.
"I never thought i'd had to use that particular spell... but I had no other choice. I used my magic to break her water and quicken her labor. I didn't like it... it didn't feel natural... but I had no other choice."
Bowser came running in, where he would see a few Koopas surrounding Solana. "Easy... push! Push!" A Koopa nurse said while Kamek was using his magic to comfort Solana.
"How is she?!" Bowser said.
"Doing everything we can... but it's a race against time." Kamek said.
"Aaaagh!"
It was then that they heard crying. "It's a miracle! It's a boy!" The nurse said, handing him over to Solana as Bowser towered over the two, smiling at his newborn son where Kamek proceeded to use his magic to try to save Solana once more.
"Honey..." Solana whispered, looking completely pale.
"Solana, hang in there... you're gonna make it!"
"Bowser... promise me to take care of him... and to be a good father..." Solana weakly said.
"No, don't say that." He took her hand. "You can fight this. You're a Koopa, we fight through anything that gets in our way! Be strong!" He pleaded while also feeling Junior holding his claw.
"Unfortunately... she used the last bit of her strength to save Junior..." Kamek quietly said.
BGM: Cold (RWBY)
"I... I love you..." Solana whispered as she closed her eyes as she slowly fell limp. Kamek noticed this and slowly put his ear to her chest, detecting no heartbeat.
"...She's gone." Kamek said.
"No! She can't be gone! Hit her with an electric spell!"
"The poison worked through her system, and giving birth quickened the poison. I hate to say it Lord Bowser... but she's gone."
"No... no that can't be true! No! NO! Solana! SOLANAAAAA!"
Throughout the castle, the minions heard roars of crying throughout the castle as they all bowed their heads and closed their eyes in solemnity.
"Days had gone by... and Lord Bowser had locked himself in his throne room. None of us were allowed to enter... this has greatly concerned me, so Bowsette and I had reached out to the Mario Bros and Peach, hoping they would talk to him.
"Bowser, hello?" Mario opened the doors to the throne room with Peach and Luigi... and a massive fireball was shot out and nearly striking the trio. "Ack!"
"Whoa!" Luigi yelped as Peach had ducked.
"What the hell are you three doing here? LEAVE!" He ordered as they would see that Bowser's eyes that were once filled with fiery passion... was filled with a burning soulless fury.
"A Putrid Piranha Plant struck Solana... and she used the last remaining strength to save Junior." Kamek explained.
"He hasn't been the same since." Bowsette said, as she had light red hair, a bit slimmer than Bowser as her chest was a bit bigger, not to mention her horns were a bit smaller than Bowser as she also had a black blouse on her in her Koopa form.
Mario clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination. "Weeg, protect Peach. I'm gonna knock some sense into him."
"You got it, bro!" Luigi nodded as Mario walked further into the throne room.
"Are you deaf? LEAVE!"
"Bowser! Would Solana have wanted you to be miserable?"
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NAME!" Bowser roared, jumping off of his throne and roaring in his face. "It's time we settled this, Mario!" He said, as he swiped at Mario but he backflipped as Bowser had jumped over and kept swiping at him while also attempting a point blank fire breath attack. He wasn't just attempting to harm Mario... he had the intent of killing him.
"Your sorrow isn't gonna bring her back!" Mario said. "Neither is- yipe!" He jumped away from a flame attack. "Neither is attempting to kill me!"
"SILENCE!" Bowser roared, attempting to punch Mario but he ducked and used an uppercut on his chin to knock him back, but Bowser would grab him by the throat and attempted to squeeze his neck... only for Bowsette to step in and punch him away, dropping Mario as he got back up.
"Come on, bro! Solana wouldn't have wanted this!"
"She's right! Solana would want you to be happy!" Mario added.
"SHUT UP!" Bowser yelled as he jumped in as Mario and Bowsette would proceed to clobber him as he would try to fight back but the two overpowered him and held him there.
"Peach, wait a minute!" Luigi exclaimed as Peach had walked in with Kamek.
"Bowser, please!" Peach pleaded. "Remember the good times that Solana had given you! How she gave you your son!"
"Yes, remember that! She gave you the greatest gift she could have given you... Junior!" Kamek said.
"Mmmph!" Bowser clutched his head as the light in his eyes returned, remembering the promise that Solana had given him and how Junior looked at him with innocent eyes.
"That's better..." Mario smiled.
Bowser took a deep breath, looking at the group. "Until Junior is old enough, Solana will be a secret." He said as they slowly nodded and then at the border, they would plant a gravestone and surrounded her grave with flowers.
"Oh my gosh..." Weiss whispered, doing her best not to cry while a saddened Pit and Yang was comforting a sobbing Ruby while Blake was wiping her tears, Roman was doing his best not to cry while Rei was silently crying with Bowsette.
"Bowser..." Kyoko whispered, not bothering to wipe her own tears. "You... you big softie..." She whispered as she walked over and hugged him gently.
Junior closed his eyes. "Thank you... for telling me this." He said, hugging Bowser as he went off and grabbed the Fire and Ice Flowers in the Clown Car, then he came back and planted them near the grave. "Hey mom... it's nice to finally meet you." He said, shedding a tear and then turned around and hugged Bowser. "Dad... does Mama Peach remind you so much of my birth mother... because of her kindness?"
Bowser smiled softly. "She does..." He said, hugging him back.
"I'm gonna have to tell the girls this..." Roman said quietly.
"I love you, papa..."
"I love you too." Bowser said, looking up as he could have sworn he saw the spirit of Solana looking at him with a smile. "Thank you." He wordlessly whispered before looking down and continued to hug his son.
Big shoutout to DragonKnight for coming up with this sad backstory. That detail when Bowser mentioned his wife in Bowser's Inside Story surely got his attention, that's for sure...
