Ricco Harbor
[Episode: Mecha Gooper Blooper]
As before like his trip into Bianco Hills to collect any remaining blue coins he may have missed and find any secret shine sprites, Mario can be seen walking along the port looking around for suspicious looking spots to hose down and clean for any secret blue coins; he already rinsed down one wall and found a hidden blue coin that fell out of a 'painted on' shine sprite. As Mario approached the spot where he first faced off against a mini boss of the Harbor, he stood at the edge of the harbor to look around out into the water.
"Mario." FLUDD spoke up with her nozzle turned to speak to him, he glanced over his shoulder to glance at her and listen, "I sense something dangerous is coming." she finished saying, prompting Mario to tense up and prepare for whatever FLUDD was able to identify as a threat.
Shortly after, Mario could hear the sound of mini-jets firing off from above him, earning his attention as he looking up to see a mech version of Gooper Blooper as it was flown in from over the hills of Rico Harbor; Bowser Junior could be seen in a gyrosphere cockpit within the top half of the mecha Gooper Blooper miniboss, while the lower half of the head remain with its mouth and eight limbs.
Junior was flying the mecha Gooper Blooper thought the air, as if it was an actual squid underwater but without its limbs occasionally flapping to propel itself; said limbs were straightened out with jets on its ends, allowing the mech to propel itself through the air at high speed. Mario kept his eyes on the mech as it turned through the air and began to hover above the water, several yards away from the harbor.
It was then that a large empty cargo ship sailed from around the bend of the hills, and stopped under the mech; shortly after, from out of the cargo ship, an arena folded out and allowed the mech to land on the new boss arena. FLUDD turned her nozzle to the side once more to speak with Mario, "I believe that child is waiting for us, shall we go ahead to fight him now?" she asked Mario.
[Yes]
[No]
After several seconds of thinking, Mario shrugged to himself, it was easy the first time to defeat the little tyke and his Petey Piranha Mech; how tough would fighting Bowser Junior a second time in a different mech be? Mario nodded to FLUDD, and as luck would have it, platforms were erected between the Harbor and the boss arena where Junior and his Mecha Gooper Blooper could be seen, making it stand on its mech tentacles while they were splayed out to make it better for the make to not tilt over and fall.
Once Mario hopped onto the boss arena, he accidentally bumped into a green mushroom; unsure what the deal was with that, but he'll take the free green mushroom of a life-line. The Green mushrooms saved his life more than he could remember. After refocusing on the task at hand, he realized Junior hadn't attacked yet, which allowed him to notice there were odd looking FLUDD tool attachments on the edges of the hexagonal arena.
"Like the set up!?" Bowser Junior exclaimed excitedly as he peered out from his mech, once the hatch opened in front of him on his gyrosphere of a cockpit, the scion of Bowser smile a cheeky grin as Mario looked back at him with confusion, "I made it all myself, figured we'd need to step it up, but not too much."
Junior then gestured around the arena at the new nozzle pieces, "While it's not quite time yet for a mandatory gimmick boss fight, I figured these nozzle additions that can fire sealant with the addition of water, can help you against my Mecha Gooper Blooper and its many jet arms and mouth hole!" Bowser Junior informed Mario with an excited look, "Pretty neat, huh!?"
As Mario looked at Bowser Junior confusedly, FLUDD turned her nozzle to speak up, "Mario, I don't think this child is fully intending to kill you, given the fact he had a green mushroom placed down, along with a nozzle tool to defeat his new mech with." she informed Mario with a tone of surprise.
Junior glared at FLUDD from within his cockpit, "Hey! Don't question my methods! Pa does things his own way, I want to do things my way!" he yelled petulantly, and puffed his cheeks out in annoyance. As Junior closed the hatch to his cockpit of his mecha Gooper Blooper, he spoke up once more, "Ahem, now. Allow me to begin my second villain speech!" Junior began to say as he stood up within his cockpit, his voice echoed from its speaker to the outside world.
Mario glanced at FLUDD over his shoulders, and shrugged, before looking back at Bowser Junior.
"We are in a world that is mired in complacency." Junior said with his fists on his hips, and smirk ever present on his face, "I wish to break that complacency, an ever constant battle between you and my papa!"
"The point I am trying to make, is that I am no scared, spiteful child, playing at some grown up game of villain versus hero! No!" Junior exclaimed with his finger pointed up and a proud smile over his lips, "I aim to tear down the fictitious lies of comfort, and, even more repugnant, complacency!"
Bowser Junior then brought his hand down and clenched it in front of him, "So what is a Koopa child to do, but rage war! So calamitous, and glorious, that it would snap the kingdoms out if their foolish and worthless charades!"
Junior then pointed at Mario with his chin lifted up with a smirk, "And who better of an opponent, than you Mario!"
After several seconds of silence passed with Mario giving Bowser Junior a confused look, FLUDD spoke up to break the uncomfortable silence with her nozzle head turned, "Mario, I believe that Child paraphrased someone, but my databanks can't seem to bring anything up." she informed Mario with a confused tone.
"Shut up you stupid cleaning product! This is my second try at a villain speech, and I thought it'd be fun for me to paraphrase a favorite series of mine!" Bowser Junior yelled petulantly from within his mech, hot steam blowing out his ears with a red face of anger.
