Bowser's Castle - Throne Room
A few days earlier
There's a castle can be seen from a distance, located in a volcano, unlike the Mushroom Kingdom, there are barely any vegetation at all, and the environment is quite dreary, below this castle is a huge pool of lava, this location is called The Koopa Kingdom, a neighbouring, but hostile country located next to Mushroom Kingdom, inside the castle a growling sound can be heard, it came from what looks like a large turtle monster with green spiky shell, yellow stomach, with red hair and horns on his head, walking back and forth in front of his throne, standing in front of him is another turtle like creature wearing round spectacles, blue robe and wizard's hat trying to console the turtle monster.
"Lord Bowser, please calm down already." Plead Kamek.
"How can I just calm down ! That blasted Mario getting in my way again and Peach just reject me." Dejected Bowser.
"Well you did just cause an international incident with your latest scheme." Murmur Kamek.
"Did you say something Kamek !?" Growled Bowser.
"Nope, nothing sir." Answered Kamek.
"No matter what I do, or how many times I succeed, Mario is always there to ruin everything, for once I would like where I have a long lasting victory rather than just a short lived ones." Demand Bowser.
As they continue with with their conversations the door to the throne room is open and someone else is entered the room, it's another magikoopa with Kamek size but it's a female magikoopa and rather than wearing blue she's wearing dark purple robe and hat, round spectacles, bullet nail polish and green lipstick. But Kamek isn't happy with her around.
"Oh great here comes the oversized hag, not your usual size today ?" Taunt Kamek.
Kamella annoyed by that remark but decided to ignore Kamek and proceed to speak to Bowser.
"Kamella, how's the troops condition ?" Enquire Bowser.
"They're all well rested sire, at least they can start working tomorrow." Answered Kamella.
"Excellent, I'm itching for a payback with Mario." Said Bowser excitedly.
"If I may, sire ? I think it's best for you not to discussed strategy with someone who has a track record of being beaten by a mere animal ohohoho." Laugh Kamella.
"Shut it Kamella ! That Yoshi is not just some mere animal, he's more formidable than you think." Answered Kamek angrily and embarrassed.
"Oh sure whatever you want to tell yourself to feel better." Replied Kamella sarcastically. "Honestly, defeated by a non sentient creature how humiliating."
As the two Magikoopas kept on bickering Bowser started to yell and tells the two to shut up. The two of them started to fall in line and apologize for their behaviour.
"We're sorry your majesty." Said Kamek and Kamella apologetically.
"Nice going Kamella now you make Lord Bowser yells at me too." Whispered Kamek.
"Now how is it that Mario always defeat me ?" Questions Bowser.
"Well he does use a lot of power ups inside the ? Blocks scattered around Mushroom Kingdom." Answered Kamek.
"And he does have allies who backs him up wherever he goes like his brother or the princess herself sending messages from a distance." Followed by Kamella. "Maybe that's it, maybe you should have allies like that Lord Bowser, rather than just ordering them to guard locations."
"Are you mad, you hag ! Who are we gonna ask for help !? You know Lord Bowser doesn't have great record at cooperating with other villains you know, remember Cackletta, Fawful, Princess Shroob, Antasma, and Smithy. Ooh especially Smithy he manage to make our Lord Bowser to join forces with Mario, and that makes him the most despicable of them all, but you wouldn't know cause you weren't there when all of this happened." Berate Kamek.
"Well I don't see you coming up with any brilliant idea you Yoshi punching bag." Talk back Kamella.
"Enough ! Kamella you have a point in what you're saying, I realize that my minions consisted of many different species, but I tend to overlook those parts. All right i know what to do, Kamek your job is to seize all power ups in the Mushroom Kingdom, Kamella you make contact with some old friends of mine, it's time to go all out." Commanded Bowser.
Soon after a creature dressed in a black ninja like garb with two red buttons on both left and right side enter the throne room and whispers to Kamek's ear, once that done the creature vanished.
"Is that your ninji spy Kamek ?" Question Bowser. "So what info did he got?"
"Umm yes, it seems Princess Peach is planning to go to Kong Isle next weekend, as she receives an invitation to Cranky Kong's birthday party alongside Mario." Answered Kamek.
"I see, then that means the Mushroom Kingdom will be unguarded, I will rally the troops and we will begin our assault next weekend." Plotted Bowser.
"But sire even if we do attack the Mushroom Kingdom won't someone there will try to contact Mario ? Won't he just come back quickly and fight us as usual ?" Asked Kamek.
"True, we need to at least buy some time in order to succeed." Agreed Bowser. "Then here's what we gonna do. Kamek, Kamella use your magic to let me speak to the leader of Kremlings King K Rool." Ordered Bowser.
As Kamek and Kamella wave their wands a vision of of Crocodile Isle appeared in Bowser's throne room and it keep zooming in until it shows King K Rool. Of course this spell is used for communication and King K Rool can speak to Bowser too.
The Kremling King notice the vision of Bowser and start speaking.
"Hah !? What is this ? Is that you Bowser ?" Asked King K Rool. "What do you want with me !?"
"Yes it's me, and I'm here to warn you that my sworn enemy Mario will be at Kong Isle to celebrate Cranky's birthday." Warned Bowser.
"I couldn't care less about your enemy, but I'm aware about what happened next weekend, my engineers are working on finishing my powerful cannon the Blast o Matic, even if you want me to destroy your enemy I don't have the time and manpower to do so, not to mention we still have problems with the long charging time." Answered K Rool.
"Then how about this, I will supply the Kremling Krew with the Koopa Troop weapons, you can use those to destroy our enemies and giving you enough chance to buy some time until your cannon charging is complete." Suggest Bowser.
"Oh really, now you have my attention, but what's in it for you ?" Asked K Rool.
"The defeat of Mario is all I need." Answered Bowser.
"All right, it's a deal." Replied K Rool.
"Kamek teleport the weapons to Crocodile Isle." Ordered Bowser.
After gathering the needed weapons Kamek use his magic to teleport the weapon supply to Crocodile Isle along with the instructions of how to use said weapons. And the communication between Bowser and K Rool is over.
Crocodile Isle - K Rool's Keep
"Ooh the weapons is finally arrived, hmm not bad, Bowser sure got some taste in weapons, for next weekend operations I'll be only needing this and this, I can't wait for next weekend." Said K Rool excitedly. "Kudgel bring Klump and Kalypso here, we're going to start the preparation mwahahaha."
Bowser's Castle - Throne Room
"There, with that Mario will be occupied with the Kremlings while we enact our plan." Said Bowser.
"Is that really wise sire ? You know Princess Peach will be there too right." Asked Kamek.
"Of course I do, but I know Peach isn't as helpless as she made everyone believe, she will survive, and she will be back, and once she do we will wait for her in her castle." Believed Bowser.
"But what about the attack ? You might make yourself the enemy of the Kongs too you know." Asked Kamella."
"Hmph for a great man like myself it's natural that I have lots of enemies." Answered Bowser.
"Now let us begin our next move, there is something in Peach's castle that I'm after and we will find it before Mario is back." Said Bowser.
Mushroom Kingdom - Peach Castle
Present day
"Ah it's so peaceful right now, maybe I'm being paranoid about Peach." Said Toadsworth.
While strolling the castle a Toad working in the palace is running towards Toadsworth and bearing some bad news.
"Toadsworth we're in trouble, it's Bowser he's back !" Said the Toad.
"What !" Shocked Toadsworth.
Toadsworth run towards the castle balcony and looked at the armada of airship flying close to Peach's Castle.
"Quick, evacuate everyone !" Ordered Toadsworth.
"But what about you ?" Said the Toad staff.
"I'll be fine, the citizens safety comes first, oh and deliver these letters to the Lakitu Info Center, now hurry !" Ordered Toadsworth.
"Yes sir, right away." Agreed the Toad.
What does he want now, Princess Peach isn't here. Thought Toadsworth. "No matter, I need to do at least something."
Toadsworth tries to transmit a message to the Toad Express to warn Peach about Bowser's assault so that she won't come back for the time being. "Please reach her." Hoped Toadsworth.
As Toadsworth finished with that the Koopa Troop begin to descent and quickly occupied both Toad Town and Peach Castle, successfully conquered it.
"This is the easiest conquest yet, now everyone begin searching !" Ordered Bowser.
As the Koopa Troop begin searching the castle Toadsworth went hiding for a while knowing he's unable to defeat the Koopa Troop by himself, but he tries to keep a close distance to Bowser in order to figure out his objective, he found out that Bowser is looking for something in the castle but Toadsworth had no idea what he's after.
"Lord Bowser, we found it, is this what you're looking for ?" Said one of his minion, a goomba with wings.
"Ah yes this is it, great work !" Praised Bowser.
As Toadsworth overheard at what Bowser said he come out from his hiding place and tries to sneak a peek at the door, and what he saw in Bowser's hand really shocks him.
Well that's it for this chapter, I'm planning to make a side story chapter focusing on the villains to explain what they do while the heroes have their adventures but I don't want it too much spoiler.
What Kamek meant in the beginning of this chapter is a reference to Mario Odyssey. And also for any of you who played Mario Galaxy Kamella is a giant magikoopa fought as a boss, but for this fic Kamella real size is the same as Kamek, she's a giant because she cast a magic on herself, not because that's her real size.
And since Kamek and Kamella never appeared at the same time I decided to make them having strong rivalry towards each other, and because they're both a high ranking minions in Bowser's army.
Feel Free to leave a review, I know I'm still new at this.
