One Milennia Ago
BGM: Bowser's Castle - Main Courtyard (Super Mario Odyssey)
Inside the ancient Koopa Kingdom, there was a great and powerful Koopa that had rose to power to the point where he was a force to be reckoned with. Inside the Koopa Castle, Emperor Bowser sat in his throne. His horns were sharper and black, his shell was colored blue and his spikes were purple, his skin was gray in color. His eyes were a menacing red. His second in command was a Magikoopa with a purple cloak.
"Lord Koopa! We have urgent news!" A Koopatrol came running over to him.
"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy trying to expand my territory!"
"Yes. I know that… but there's something that you need to know. Emperor Toadstool is on his way here!"
"Ah, good, negotiations. I desire more than just lava lakes, volcanoes erupting, lava pits, black smoke and what have you! If I can just expand my territory to the lush green fields… I know Emperor Toadstool won't be so stupid!"
"Aheheheh… let's all just relax, sire." The Magikoopa said. "You are known for your hot temper, but let's just see what he has to say."
"Mmph… if you say so, Koot."
It was then that the doors opened and then Emperor Toadstool walked in. He had brunette hair, a goatee, a purple robe to go along with his kingly attire and wore red shoes. He stood in front of Emperor Bowser and folded his arms. "Bowser."
"Toadstool."
"So… I've heard that you expanded into my territory… destroying one of my villages."
"Oh, was that your village? Hmph, a small price to pay for conquest." He said nonchalantly. "I tried not to be as forceful about it."
"You burnt it to the ground!"
"Not my fault it was a wooden village! That's on you!"
Emperor Toadstool growled before taking a deep breath and exhaling to compose himself. "Look, all I'm asking you is to stop taking over parts of my kingdom. My country is shrinking by the day by your antics. All I'm asking is a little bit of elbow room."
"Look at this kingdom, Toadstool. Lava… nothing but lava. While I don't mind seeing lava, I want a little bit more variety in my life." He said.
"I understand that, but… you can't just take over the entire land just like that. There has to be a line and… honestly, you're dangerously close to it. Why not expand over into the neverending vastness of Dry Dry Desert?"
"You kiddin'? Who would want to build a castle in a desert? Or a whole kingdom at that!"
Emperor Toadstool chuckled. "Can't argue there. Look, can you just stop with the antics? I don't think my people can take much more of this. Some of them are already gearing up for war."
"War, huh! Bwhahahaha! Wow, that is pretty paranoid of them!" He chuckled. "Alright, alright… I'll stop. You can go ahead and expand if you want to."
"Thank you. Much obliged, Emperor Bowser." He said as he walked off.
"Mmmph… Mushroom-lovin' goody two shoes freak…"
"War mongering asshole…"
Unfortunately, this was said at the same time as both of them paused as they both glared at each other. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"
"Good grief, you two… both of you need to learn how to whisper!" Koot pinched the bridge of his snout.
"Tch… whatever." Emperor Bowser said.
"Farewell, Bowser." Emperor Toadstool walked off.
"Same to you, chump!" He said as the doors closed. "Rrrgh, who does he think he is? Telling me to stop taking over land… the nerve!"
"What do you propose we do?" Koot asked.
"Ignore him, that's what! I want it all!" He exclaimed. "If they're gearing up for war… so be it!" He turned to a Koopatrol. "You! Get those flying ships ready as fast as you can! Load 'em up with rockets if you have to!"
"Right away, m'lord!"
"Toadstool, you have made the biggest mistake of your life."
End BGM
A few days later…
BGM: Ancient Castle (Final Fantasy II)
"Ah, just the way I like it." Emperor Toadstool said, looking over the balcony. "Our land is expanding again."
"Sire." A Toad walked over to him. "Her highness wishes to see you." He said as he sidestepped out of the way as a woman approached him. Her hair was black in color, her eyes were purple, her dress was a sea foam green and had a blue oval shaped brooch on her chest.
"Ah, darling. It's good to see you… but you should rest. You're due any day now."
"Honey, I just want to get some fresh air. I can't stand lying in bed."
The emperor sighed. "If that is what you desire, Jade… then I will not stop you."
"Oh, Marcus…" She smiled as she looked out at the balcony. "Oh… I can't wait until our first child is born! I wonder what it'll be?"
"Well, if it's a boy, I can teach him all kinds of things. Teach him how to properly rule the kingdom!"
"If it's a girl… I will have her be the kindest princess anyone can ever imagine. Oh, we haven't thought of a name yet, have we?"
"Simple. If it's a guy, Marcus II. If it's a girl, Jade II. Simple as that."
"Hmm, I like Peach."
"Peach? Nah, that's too girly."
"Okay… Veronica. That is what we will name our daughter… if it's a girl."
"Very well."
Jade giggled. "You're never good with names…"
"I want there to be a strong lineage, can you blame me? Imagine if we gave a sissy name like Peach… then no one will take the kingdom seriously."
"Oh, you don't know that. I'm certain there will be a strong Peach in our bloodline."
"If you say so…" Marcus let out a chuckle and wrapped his arms around her into a loving hug as both of them closed their eyes to kiss.
BOOM!
End BGM
"What on earth?!" Marcus turned around and saw explosions going all over Mushroom Town, then he saw a flying airship approach them.
BGM: Bowser Jr's Airship Armada (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Attention Mushroom Kingdom brats! I am taking over this land whether you like it or not! We are invading everything! Mountains! The seas! The plains! Everything will be mine in this kingdom!"
"Bowser!" Marcus snarled.
Emperor Bowser smirked at his fellow emperor smugly. "You were gearing up for war? You dare point those spears against the kingdom? You have a death wish, Toadstool! I will make sure you will rue the day you ever pointed your weapons at me!" He declared.
"You're making a mistake, Bowser!" Marcus yelled. "You want war? Well, you're going to get it, you war mongering fool!"
Emperor Bowser smirked. "Well, here's my opening act!" He exclaimed as electricity enveloped his fingertips as he pressed his hands together and swung them down, as a massive lightning storm struck the castle and Mushroom Town, as this lightning was dark blue in color. Once the lightning struck, blue fire erupted everywhere.
"Where did you learn this dark magic?!" The emperor demanded to know.
"As if I'd ever tell you! BWAHAHAHAHA!" Emperor Bowser flew off.
End BGM
Marcus clenched his fists. "Alright, Bowser… you want to have a war…" He conjured up flames of his own. "Then you're getting one." He then walked inside while Jade calmly conjured up water as she manipulated the water to douse the flames. "Rally the troops! Gather as many supplies as you can! We are at war!" He told his troops.
"Fine time to have a war…" Jade sighed. "Let's just hope it doesn't last long."
Two days into the war…
BGM: Playing With Danger (Team Fortress 2)
"Okay, so the Mushroom Plains are currently in war against the Koopas… and apparently, the Goombas have decided to join them for some reason!" General Toad said.
"Those Goombas ally with who they think are the strongest. I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner." The Emperor muttered.
"We can flank them in the mountains. We go around the battlefield and invade the Koopa Kingdom and capture their strongholds. Bowser won't know what'll hit him!"
"Then that is what we'll do. Troops, we are going to the mountains!" He said, hopping on a horse as he and his men took off on their horses and took off to the mountains.
"Be careful…" Jade whispered.
End BGM
As they traveled through the mountains, they would be chatting amongst themselves… mostly about strategy and how they'll be able to defeat Emperor Bowser. It was then that a shadow was cast over them. "Cloudy already?" A Toad Soldier asked.
"Those aren't clouds!" The Emperor exclaimed as they looked up to see Emperor Bowser on an airship.
"Hello boys!" Emperor Bowser said as he jumped off the airship, pulling back his fist and with a mighty roar, he punched the ground, creating a powerful explosion.
Away from the mountains…
"Mommy, look! That mountain is shrinking!" A Toad child pointed in the distance.
"Oh, that's nice dear… wait, IT'S WHAT?!" The Toad mother looked in the distance and saw the entire mountain crumbling. "…Oh dear…"
Back at the mountains…
BGM: A Tense Moment (Super Mario Galaxy)
Marcus coughed a bit, looking around to see the mountain completely leveled. "Status!" He ordered as he saw that most of his squad had been buried underneath the rubble while General Toad and a few other Toads emerged. "Damn…"
"Heh, you like that? I call that my Volcanic Punch! I've perfected it to where I can level ANYTHING to the ground, including mountains!"
"Yeah… I've noticed…" Marcus grumbled.
"Aww, it looks like a few of you are left." He conjured up dark magic. "Let's even the odds." He said as several Dry Bones emerged from the ground.
"Necromancy?!" A Toad yelled.
"Rrrgh… alright, that's it!" Marcus conjured up a fire sword. "Bowser, you know very well that Necromancy is forbidden!"
"Do I look like I give a damn?"
End BGM
"That's it… in the name of the Mushroom Kingdom, I will strike you down!" He declared.
BGM: King Bowser (Super Mario Galaxy)
Emperor of the Koopas - Emperor Bowser
Marcus lunged at Emperor Bowser, slashing at him but Emperor Bowser blocked with his arms as he then swiped at him with his claws, leaving a trail of blue fire in his wake and clashing with Marcus, then he jumped back and breathed blue fire at him, forcing Marcus to roll out of the way, but his robe caught ablaze. He quickly took it off as he lunged directly at him and fire punched him in the gut, where Bowser swiped down on him with his claws, knocking him down.
Emperor Bowser breathed fire at him, forcing him to roll out of the way as he launched a stream of fire as both of them collided into making an explosion as Marcus jumped up in the air and fire punched Bowser in the head, but he then grabbed him and threw him to the ground. Emperor Bowser then raised his foot and slammed it into his gut, making a small explosion as soon as it connected. "Gaaah!" Marcus cried as Bowser picked him up and threw him up in the air, as he then jumped up and Volcano Punched him toward the ground.
"Bwahahahaha! You can't win, Toadstool!" He smirked as Marcus closed his eyes as a green aura surrounded him as he got back up. "Fascinating… my Volcano Punch can break every bone in your body if it hits someone, yet you're still standing."
"It's a good thing I know how to self heal… you're not the only one with a trick up his sleeve!"
Emperor Bowser smirked, conjuring up a sword made out of bones as he pointed it at Marcus as both of them lunged at each other, slashing each other with the swords until Marcus parried his attack to disarm him as he then fire punched Bowser in the head to knock him back. Emperor Bowser aimed his hand at Marcus soon after and lifted him up with telekinesis. "I'm gonna have fun here!" He smirked and then slammed him into the ground. He then jumped up and Bowser Bombed him, forcing Marcus to roll out of the way.
"Trying to squish me?"
"It's called the Bowser Bomb. I invented that move and I will pass it down to my descendants!"
"You won't have any when I'm through with you!" Marcus lunged at him as he quickly fire punched him before delivering a fire kick but Bowser grabbed a hold of his leg and tossed him toward the ground.
"Give up, Toadstool! I won this fight!"
"This isn't over… until I say it is!" He growled. "General! Hand me the Shell Bomb."
"Nnngh! A little busy but… here you go!" He said, throwing a Spiny Shell at him as he grabbed a hold of it.
"Eat this!" He said, throwing the Blue Shell at him but he used his telekinesis to grab a hold of it and then he threw it back at the group, causing it to explode.
"No thanks, I'm already having my dessert!"
Marcus winced, holding on to his arm with a growl. "Anyone still breathing?" He asked as he saw that his whole squad had been wiped out from the Blue Shell, even his general was wiped out. "No!"
"Too bad you don't have a revival spell on you. Bwahahaha!"
"Rrrgh… alright, you win this round Bowser… but I'm going to turn this war around!" He said, conjuring up a fire wall and then he quickly made his escape.
End BGM
"You wish… but this war will be over quick! Bwahahahaha! If this is Toadstool's army, then I've got this war in the bag!"
Five long years later…
"Five years. Five. Long. Damn. Years. It's been a never ending struggle. My husband and Bowser have been claiming and losing land constantly, Bowser keeps building castles… and to make matters worse, his navy is incredible, including Bowser's personal dreadnought… the Fire Thwomp. I love my husband, but if something doesn't happen soon… if this war doesn't end soon… I don't know what will happen… but I am at my wits end." - Jade Toadstool
Jade walked over to Marcus who was in the middle of a war meeting with his troops. "Honey? Can we talk for a minute?"
"Just a minute sweetheart. We're talking strategy here." He said as Jade let out a sigh and walked off.
With Emperor Bowser…
"You thought it'd be a good idea to assassinate me?" He asked a Toad.
"Rrrgh, it was a good idea at the time!"
"Heh… cute. Bring in the tank." He ordered as Koot summoned a water tank.
"Oh what, you gonna drown me? Not very original there, pal."
"Oh no… I got something else in mind." He smirked as he breathed black fire on him.
"Yagh!" He yelped as he went to dunk himself in the water… but as he got out, he was still on fire. "AAAAGH! WHY AM I STILL ON FIRE?!"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I mastered the ability to breathe black fire! With this, anything that it sticks to will burn until it is no more!"
"AAAAGH! THIS IS TORTURE!"
"That's the idea, genius!" He smirked. "Nothing will snuff it out until whatever it sticks to is completely incinerated!" He said as he breathed fire on the Toad again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAGH!" He screamed as he continued screaming in agony while Emperor Bowser continued breathing fire on him until the Toad finally stopped screaming as he had perished from the flames… but the fire was still raging until it finally dissipated. The only thing that remained of the Toad was an outline. Not even the bones survived.
"BWAHAHAHAHA! This is a game changer for sure!"
"It certainly is, your highness." Koot chuckled. "We may have the upper hand of this battle for sure!"
"Yes indeed."
Back at the Mushroom Kingdom…
"So, if we send a spy with an explosive device to the Fire Thwomp. It should be enough to sink it." Marcus said. "Heh, he claims its unsinkable? Let's test out that theory."
"You got it!" Another General Toad nodded.
"Sir!" A Toad came running over. "We just got news from our assassination team… none of them were able to take 'em out." He said as he pulled out a note. "However, Bowser's right hand man sent me this." He said, handing him the note.
"Dear pesky Toadstool. Guess what? I burned your pathetic team to the ground… and I even have a new ability on my side. Black Fire, or as I like to call it… Hellfire! …It's a work in progress, but anyway, with this ability, I can burn anything to the ground and nothing, I repeat, nothing can snuff it out. Not even water! It will stick to you until your remains are destroyed! Trees, grass, buildings… nothing is safe! I will win this war… bwahahahahaha! Yours truly - Emperor Bowser."
"AAAAAARRRRRGH!" Marcus tore the paper to shreds. "THAT DAMN KOOPA!"
"What do we do?"
"We're going to win, even if he uses that damn Oblivion Fire!" He yelled. "Everyone, you are dismissed. I need to think."
"Very well… we'll give you some space." General Toad said as they walked off.
"Ugh… unbelievable…" He grumbled as he walked out to the balcony to get some air, looking over the kingdom. It was then that he head footsteps behind him as he turned to see Jade approach him. "Oh, hey honey…"
"You look to be in a sour mood."
"Eh… just Bowser being Bowser… we'll win this. I know we will."
"Honey, I need to tell you something…"
"What is it?" He asked.
Jade let out a sigh. "Honey, I love you… and I've been by your side through even the toughest of decisions that you've made. Even during this never ending war, I am still by your side… you know this, right?"
"Of course.. You're the one that's keeping me steady."
Jade smiled. "That's good." She said but then she suddenly frowned. "However…"
"What is it?" He asked, as Jade suddenly grabbed him by the collar and pushed him into a wall. "Mmmph!"
"I am sick and tired of this bullshit. Five years, Marcus. Five. Long. DAMN. YEARS. I am at my wit's end here! I have had it! I can't continue on like this! Either you end this dick measuring contest with Bowser or so help me, I'll end this war MYSELF!"
Marcus paled a bit. "Okay, okay! I'll end it! I'll ask Bowser to meet me at Mushroom Fields and we can negotiate something!"
"Good!" She said as she dropped him.
"Yikes, you're scary when you're mad…" He shuddered as he walked off, while Jade let out an annoyed sigh.
"Men." She grumbled.
With Emperor Bowser…
"Emperor Bowser!" A Paratroopa came flying over to him. "We got word from Toadstool!"
"Oh? What do we got?" He asked as the Paratroopa handed him the letter. "Heh, he's probably surrendering!"
"Dear Emperor Bowser, I wish to speak with you privately at Mushroom Fields. No soldiers. Just the two of us. This war has gone on long enough. How about we negotiate a deal? - Toadstool."
"…What is he up to?" His eyes narrowed. "Something's fishy here…" He then turned to Koot. "Koot, give me your wand. I have an idea."
Later, at Mushroom Fields…
Marcus traveled to the fields by horseback as he spotted a picnic table in the middle of the field as Emperor Bowser was sitting on one end of the table. "A picnic table?" He wondered as he approached and then hopped off, spotting wine glasses filled with wine. He immediately grew suspicious. "What is the meaning of this?"
"Thought it'd fit the mood." He said. "Sit down."
"Okay…" Marcus sat on the bench.
"So, you wanted to discuss negotiations? Lay it on me." He said.
"Well, how about this. We split it up. 50-50. You take half and I take half. How about that?"
"Hmm, I like the sound of that. Perfect way to end this surprisingly long war." He said with a grin. "Now then, let's have a toast, shall we?"
"Agreed." He said but still had suspicion. "Look! Someone is trying to assassinate you from behind!"
"What? Where?" He said, looking behind as Marcus smirked and switched the wine glasses. "Huh… you must have scared him off." He mused before shrugging it off. "A toast to the end of the war!"
"Hear hear!" He said, both of them clinking the glasses as they downed the wine. "…Heheheh…"
"What's so funny?"
"Just how dumb do you think I am?" He smirked. "I know very well that you put poison in my wine glass so I tricked you! I switched it around when you weren't looking! Now you're the one who's been poisoned while I remain perfectly healthy! Who's laughing now, Bowser? I win this war! I win in the end! You have failed! I will take all the land back that you took! Your empire will fall because of this simple blunder that you've made! You were hoist by your own petard Bowser… but in the end, I won! You poisoned yourself when you thought you could poison me! You cannot take Toadstool down! I WIN!" He yelled. "…Why are you looking at me smugly? Wipe that smug look off your face!" He said… before he fell over on his back.
"Oh good, you're done." Bowser smirked. "Fool, you thought you could switch it around on me? I saw that coming a mile away so I poisoned both glasses! I just happened to have an immunity to poison." He chuckled. "Hoist by own petard, eh? So much for that victory." He chuckled as he used his Oblivion Fire on Marcus, startling his horse as he took off running. "Hmm… Putrid Fire… no… Death Fire… nah… Oblivion Fire…? Oh yes, that's perfect!" He said as he walked away chuckling to himself. "This war is good as mine! Bwahahahahaha!"
Back at the castle…
"Mommy, is daddy going to be okay?" Her daughter asked, as she had short brunette hair and had a blue dress on her. She even had green eyes.
Jade turned to her daughter. "I dunno, Veronica… he didn't want to say it but I can see that this war has put a toll on him." She said as she heard a horse winny in the background. "Honey?" She wondered as she walked outside to see that his horse didn't have her husband on it while some Toads were trying to calm it down.
"His highness isn't on the horse! He's either injured or… worse!"
A tear escaped Jade's eye before she scowled angrily. "Fine then… I'm putting a stop to this war MYSELF!" She yelled and walked off.
"Your highness, aren't you gonna mourn first?"
"I'LL MOURN WHEN THIS WAR IS OVER, DAMMIT!"
The Toads sweatdropped. "Ooookay, she's lost it." One of them said.
Deep in the castle, Jade marched on in and pulled a book off the shelf, as it opened up before her. She walked on in and closed the shelf behind her as she walked in on some secret lab. "Professor! How is it coming along?"
A scientist looked up from his goggles. "Oh, hello your highness. It's going absolutely well. You know, I'm still shocked that you haven't told your husband what you plan on doing."
"Well, there's no point in keeping it a secret any longer. He's dead."
"Oh… I am so sorry."
"I'll mourn for him when this is over." She said. "Now then, Albert… how is it coming along?"
"Well, it's going absolutely well. I call these missiles… Bullet Bills. I then went a step further and made more. Banzai Bills! And then the one on top of that… a King Bill! I even made underwater variants, I call 'em Torpedo Teds. I'm currently in the process of making a King Torpedo Ted."
"Excellent. Anything else?"
"Of course! I went out of my way to create sentient walking bombs."
"Oh, that's ni-… excuse me? SENTIENT bombs?!"
"Exactly! I call them Bob-ombs."
"…Gadd, you are the craziest scientist I've ever met."
"I aim to please, Toadstool!" Albert grinned.
"So… if this war is over, what will you do with the rest of the Bob-ombs?"
"I dunno, have them wander off and make a community or something." Albert shrugged.
Jade rolled her eyes and looked at a Bob-omb that was curiously looking at her. "Actually, I have an idea with one of these. Can you make one of these bigger?"
"I can try. Why?"
Jade let out a chuckle. "I'm going to make a statement."
A few days later, in the sea…
"Ah, I love the smell of sinking Mushroom ships in the morning!" A Koopatrol captain said aboard the Fire Thwomp, firing massive cannonballs at them. All of them were completely unaware of a Koopa riding on a dolphin making his way toward the dreadnought. As soon as he got close, he pulled out a blow torch and burned his way through as he went inside.
BGM: Sector 1 (Super Smash Bros Brawl/Wii U/Ultimate)
"I'm so glad that I'm on the right side of the war. To hell with Bowser." He said as he climbed aboard, holding a bag over his back as he snuck around the ship, watching some Koopatrols make their way through the hallways as he snuck around and saw a Koopatrol in front of him, seeming to be on guard. He let out a sigh as he snuck over to the Koopatrol, and when he was within reach, he grabbed his neck.
"What the-" He snapped his neck, immediately falling over.
"So sorry." He said as he pulled him into a closet, then came out wearing his armor. He snuck around the ship some more, blending in with the crowd until he found what he was looking for. "Dear lord… they have a reactor for the engine? Hoo boy, this is gonna get hot real fast." He said as he dropped the bag and pulled out a large pink Bob-omb. "They call this a Bulky Bob-omb? Well, more firepower, I guess." He said as he put it down and then snuck off. "Once I get enough distance, I'll detonate it and-"
"Detonate what, exactly?" A voice asked as the Koopa looked over to see the captain.
"Oh crud…" He grumbled as the Koopatrol grabbed a hold of him and dragged him outside, where they tied him to a mast as they took off his shell.
End BGM
"Lash him." The captain ordered as a Koopatrol whipped him on the back repeatedly.
"Agh! Gaaah! Mmmph! Aaaargh!"
The Captain smirked, then he charged right at him and skewered him with the spike on his helmet. "AAAAGH!" He yelled as the Captain turned him around and started punching him in the face repeatedly, making sure the spikes on his fist made it hurt while the other Koopatrols continued to whip him.
"Traitor!" He said. "Do you have any last words before we end your miserable existence?"
The Koopa weakly chuckled. "Just a few."
"Spit it out."
He pulled out a detonator. "See you in the afterlife… suckers." He said, pressing the button.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Meanwhile, at a castle stationed at Cheep Cheep Lagoon…
"This war is mine. Bwahahahaha! Nothing will stand in my way!" Emperor Bowser smirked.
"Sire!" A Koopatrol came running in. "You know the Fire Thwomp that you claimed was unsinkable?"
"Heh, yeah?"
"Well… it exploded."
"What?"
"Aaaand it sank near Yoshi's Island."
"WHAT?!" Emperor Bowser yelled. "Who would do such a thing?! WHO?!"
Several yards away from the castle…
"He's in there. He's in shock." A Toad said through binoculars. "By the looks of he, he just learned that his dreadnought was destroyed."
"Excellent." Jade smirked. "You may fire when ready."
"You heard the lady, boys! Time for Operation: Game Over!" The Toad said via a walkie talkie.
"Right!"
In the castle…
"Sire! We have something approaching the castle!" A Koopatrol exclaimed.
"NOW what?!" Emperor Bowser roared as he looked outside to see a flurry of Bullet Bills and Banzai Bills heading over to them and struck the castle while a King Bill came flying over and struck the cliff wall… and just for good measure, a King Bill sized Torpedo Ted came rushing over through the water and exploded on contact with the cliff, causing the entire cliff to collapse and the castle to fall. "AAAAAAH!" Emperor Bowser roared as he fell into the ocean with him inside the falling castle.
"Bullseye." Jade smirked.
At the sunken castle…
Emperor Bowser struggled to get out of the water, but the rubble was too heavy for him to get him out of there. No! I am not going out like this! No… No! TOOOOADSTOOOOOOOOOL! He thought as he struggled… but his body went limp as he drowned. Koot came swimming over with an air tank.
"Sire!" He said as he fired magic at his hand, conjuring up a 1-Up as he swam over… but then a Torpedo Ted hit him. "Gah!" He yelled, as the 1-Up floated down to the ground as a Toad came swimming over with a few other Toads and Empress Jade.
"It's over!" Jade said as a Toad picked up the wand that he also dropped and aimed it at Koot, firing a bolt of lightning at him.
"YAAAAAAAGH!" He yelled, his skin evaporating as he was turned into a skeleton… before his bones fell to the ocean floor.
"Oh! I only mean to paralyze him!" The Toad sweatdropped. "Welp… that's that."
"Yes, the war is over." Jade said with a nod as she picked up the wand as she threw magic at thin air and conjured up a massive bony shark. "Huh, so he can summon any monster on command, including a Kingfin." She mused as a Toad pulled out a ? Block and stuffed the 1-Up inside of it, placing it above Bowser's corpse, then Jade aimed at Bowser and fired at him, where he was then stuffed into a casket.
"Why put the 1-Up above him?" A Toad asked.
"To taunt him! Duh!" The other grinned, causing some of the Toads to snicker.
"Kingfin, I have a job for you." Jade ordered as the Kingfin looked at her. "I want you to guard this tomb. Do not let anyone investigate this place. If anyone should be stupid enough to enter this place… kill them. We do not want Bowser brought back to life. Do you understand?" She asked as the Kingfin nodded. "Good. Let's go." She said as they left the tomb while Kingfin swam around for centuries, guarding anyone who would be dumb enough to enter this tomb… unaware that it would soon be destroyed by four teenagers.
"So that's it? That's your story?" Ghirahim asked.
"Yes." Dry Bowser nodded.
"Funny, the history books mentioned this war started that you killed a kid."
"Historians tend to alter history just to fit their agenda. I know what the history was like." Dry Bowser said and then chuckled. "I was at my prime a millennia ago… only to get defeated by that damn empress." He said. "I was thankfully revived a millennia later, but… my powers were weakened. I was defeated easily by those teenagers all because I was at my weakest… but now… my powers have slowly been returning after all this time." He smirked as he jumped up in the air. "Volcano… PUNCH!" He yelled, punching the ground hard enough to make a deep crater and leveling the trees around them. He then breathed Oblivion Fire on the trees to burn them. He then conjured up black magic as several Dry Bones rose from the ground. He then snapped his fingers as a lightning storm struck the ground, creating blue flames.
"You still got it... emperor." Ghirahim smirked with a devilish grin.
"Hmhmhmhmhm… all that I need to figure out is how to get my skin back. Then I'll be back in business and then nothing will stand in my way."
Y'all were asking me about why Dry Bowser is such a threat? Think he's just an obstacle and thought it was silly that the Vytal Festival would be postponed because of him? Heh, cute.
Aaaanyway, Steve is an interesting character to play as... he's alright. His Classic Mode and Spirit Battles were sheer insanity though. (And yet, I had less trouble with Ender Dragon over friggin' Max Brass... go figure.) So... in all honesty? He's okay.
