Bowser impatiently sat on his throne as a huge ruckus unfolded outside.
"Can someone tell me what's going on ? " Bowser asked, as he stood up and was about to walk out until Kammy entered the room.
"Bowser-sama, it's horrible. "
" What is the problem ? "
" The Mario Bros and the Jaegers have made it into the castle." Kammy said.
Bowser just laughed after hearing this.
"What are you so worried about ? I am prepared this time ! Besides, I have a more powerful army than when I attacked them. " Bowser said as he sat back down in his chair.
"Well sir, I'm sorry to say this, but I got a message that Grubba was defeated by Luigi and the guy who looks like a doctor." Kammy said, as a koopa could be seen flying out of the windows. Bowser then got angry.
"That lousy scientist is still alive !? Hmm ... these guys are stronger than I thought they were! It's not like those idiots would know where Peach and the psycho girl were anyway ! So there's still nothing to worry about, " Bowser said as he began to relax again.
"Speaking of which, sir, I received another report that a masked man and a strange dog got there Peach and the psychopath are being held." Kammy said, as an explosion occurred outside, but Bowser and Kammy didn't care.
" ALREADY ? " Bowser asked curiously.
"Yeah, and all of our other generals are fighting the Jaegers as well." Kammy said, as another explosion occurred, but again, Bowser and Kammy didn't care.
"Regardless, my men will be able to beat them ! Anyway, even if they make it to Peach, they will have to go through my new pet that I received from Mount Lavalava, and this will not be easy to cross. Gwa ha ha ha ha ! "
Bowser laughed as another explosion occurred, but this time Bowser and Kammy noticed.
"-sigh -... I told you putting a bob-omb storage under the throne room was a bad idea, now I'm starting to annoy me. I can't imagine what would happen if an explosion was happening here. After it's over, you have to change that bomb piece into Peach merchandise, get it ? "Bowser asked, as Kammy nodded after that.
"By the way, according to our reports, the Jaegers boss is a lot more than Mario. "
"More powerful than Mario ? GWAHAHAHA ! That's impossible! A simple woman couldn't be that strong."
Finishing to swallow his mushroom, Run felt like his whole body was frozen.
"What's going on ? " He wondered, looking at his arms. "Did this mushroom really give me any power?"
"Tubba Blubba ! " His opponent shouted, pointing his tongue at him.
Reaching out in front of him, Run tried to stop him. However, compared to what he hoped for, nothing happened and the tongue ended up hitting his hand. Grimacing in pain, feeling like a whip had struck his hand, the Jaeger still managed to grab his opponent's tongue. And at that moment, just as Esdeath could have, ice appeared around Run's hand, which allowed him to freeze Tubba's tongue.
Making a strange noise, Tubba jumped back and curled his tongue into his mouth. Nonetheless, much of it was already frozen. Watching Run in astonishment and surprise, he saw looking at his hand which was still frozen. Concentrating for a few seconds, the Jaeger managed to remove the ice that was on it. Then, tapping the ground with his foot, he managed to create a circle of ice around his foot.
"Perfect ! " He announced. " I'm starting to understand how this power works."
"GRRRRRR ! "
Growling in anger, Tubba Bubba leapt through the air, before making a tackle, toward Run. Jumping aside, the Jaeger dodged him in time, while the room began to shake. Turning his gaze to Run, the monster saw him pretend to put his hand on his body, in order to freeze him.
" It's finish. "
However, using his tail as a club, Tubba slammed hard in Run's face, which crashed into a wall. Seemingly happy to see his opponent knocked down, Tubba let out roars resembling laughter.
Still, he paused as he saw Run's figure rise to his feet. Now holding a strange flower in his hand, the Jaeger wasted no time eating it. In an instant, his body began to heat up, while it felt as if his body was on fire.
Seeing Run bow in pain, while it felt like he had eaten the hottest pepper in the world, Tubba grabbed a large shelf and threw it at the Jaeger. Unable to react, Run was crushed by the object.
Still, standing still to make sure Run was dead, Tubba took a step back as the shelf suddenly caught fire. Burning it to ashes, Run floated above the ground, as his teigu's wings ignited, burning the glue he was preventing him to using them.
Taking a few seconds to concentrate again, Run managed to cover his arms in ice, while his wings were still on fire. Run combined the two powers he just had.
Scared by this, Tubba Bubba puffed out his cheeks, before spitting out a ball of glue. Seeing it rush towards him, Run began to increase the speed of the flapping of his wings and managed to create balls of fire. One of them hit Tubba's attack and melted it down. As for the others, she hitted the monster hard, who could only scream in pain, while his whole body began to burn him.
However, managing to grit his teeth, he jumped over to Run, before aiming his tail at him. Soaring higher, Run avoided being hit and managed to find himself on top of his opponent. Lifting his foot in the air, he used it to strike Tubba's skull, freezing half of his face.
Falling to the ground, Tubba struggled to his feet. However, not even being able to react, he saw Run put his hands on the ground and froze him entirely. Jumping to keep his paws from freezing to the ground, Tubba then slipped, feeling like he was on an ice rink.
"From now on, you won't be able to do anything." Run asserted.
Indeed. Tubba's tongue was frozen, the ice on the ground was preventing him from moving, and Run's flames were destroying his glue balls. Run seemed to have completely dominated the fight. Unfortunately for him, the flames on his wings suddenly disappeared, as did the ice on his arms.
"Huh?" Run asked in surprise, as the time limit for his powers had just ended.
Seeing this, Tubba took the opportunity to swell his cheeks and spat out a ball of glue. However, anticipating the attack, Run performed a pirouette to avoid the attack before flapping his wings. Creating powerful gusts of wind, Run then created sharp feathers around him, which he sent flying towards Tubba. In an instant, the feathers sliced through Tubba's body, which could only scream in agony.
Then flying towards him, Run slammed the center of Tubba's abdomen and hurled him against a wall. Passing through it, Tubba spat blood, before collapsing to the ground, unconscious. Seeing this, Run asserted.
"This is the way I fight."
Meanwhile ... back with Bols
"KORO !" Seryu rejoiced, seeing her teigu gesture right next to the lake of lava that lay below her cage. "I'm so glad to see you."
"But how…? " Peach wondered, seeing Bols and the teigu. "Normally only Mario and Luigi can come right here."
"I told you ! The Jaegers are the best because we are warriors of justice."
Standing still and silent, Bols stared at the cage, before looking at the lava lake. Immediately he knew he couldn't just drop the cage, or risk killing the two prisoners.
"Freeing you will be more complicated than expected."
Bols then looked at his surroundings. Then he finally noticed a lever at the other end of the room.
"Or maybe not ! Hey, Seryu-kun ! Do you know what this lever is for ?"
"That lever on the wall? Yes! It was with it that Bowser moved our cage just above the lava."
"Perfect! Then moving it will be enough to free you."
Getting ready to run for the lever, Bols heard a laugh behind him, before being hit by an electric sphere that hitted into his back.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted, dropping one knee to the ground.
"Yeah heh heh heh, so you thought you could save Peach and the psychopath, right? Fool, that won't happen while I'm here. " Said a mysterious figure as she walked past Bols and Koro, and headed right next to the cage.
"Kammy ! " Peach gasped.
Seryu then started to get really angry and regretted that she had no more ammunition to kill her enemy.
"You are the old witch who helped Bowser defeat Stylish-san! When I get out of this cage, I'll kill you."
According to fearful of this, Kammy eventually smiles again, trusting the strength of the cage.
"Ney heh heh heh heh ! Poor fools ! I don't know why the Jaegers meddled in our affairs but it seems that this castle will quickly become their tomb."
Hearing it, Bols suddenly moaned, trying to get up. Showing his will, he found the strength to recover.
"Our tomb ? There is no question that I die here! Not until I have reunited with my family! Like a Jaeger, I should always put my life on the line to save my companions who are in danger. And even if I do. have to put my life on the line, I would never run away from danger ! If I do, I know full well that my wife will be ashamed of me, and I will never be able to look the rest of my friends in the eye again. "
"Keep dreaming, because you'll never save Peach and the psychopath! If you want to free them from this cage, you're going to have to beat Bowser-sama's new pet."
"He can come." Bols assured, grabbing his teigu. "I'm waiting for him."
"You'll regret those words! Get out, Lava Piranha!" Kammy shouted, as the pool of lava began to bubble.
A large flower with nothing but a big mouth emerged from the lava along with two smaller flowers with smaller mouths.
"You don't have to scream, I can hear you just fine." Said the tall piranha plant.
"What is that?" Bols wondered, stepping back.
"Fool, I warned you ! Let me introduce you to Lava Piranha, Bowser's new pet. " Kammy said.
"For the last time, I'm not a pet. I'm the new keeper of the basements of Bowser-sama's castle! And if I succeed my mission, I was promised that I would have the right to become one of Bowser's army generals. " Said Lava Piranha. "That way, I'm the one who can give you orders."
Kammy then got angry.
"I don't care who you are, just do your job and get rid of these guys. " Kammy said pointing to Bols and Koro.
Directing his teigu at the monster, Bols roared.
"I warn you right now ! If I have to fight you seriously, I would have to kill you! So, if you don't want to die, surrender immediately."
"Ha ha ha ha ha! I admire your courage and your stupid attempts to defeat me, for you will now suffer from the new basement guardian! I would never be afraid of a human like you."
In response, a jet of flame went up to Lava Pirahna and hit him. Feeling completely burnt out, the plant monster took a step back. Yet, uttering a powerful cry, he managed to remove the flames that covered his body.
"What?" The Jaeger wondered.
"Fool! I'm a monster who live in lava ! Do you really think your flames can do me any harm? It's my turn now."
Immediately, his two arms in the shape of two tiny piranhas rushed towards Bols.
Bols immediately grabbed Koro before jumping back. Slamming into the ground, Lava Pirahna's attacks pulverized it. Finding that his fire attacks had no effect, Bols preferred to trust his physical strength. As a result, he scarcely put one foot on the ground when he ran towards the monster, before giving him a powerful shoulder kick. Then, as his opponent stepped back, he punched him in the chin.
"OUCH ! " Lava Piranha shouted, when he was punched in the face.
He then looked at Bols and spat out a fireball at him. Using his teigu, Bols let out flames that matched Lava Pirahna's. He then ran straight to the lever, but a big yellow block with eyes fell out of nowhere and blocked the way to the lever.
"Nyeh heh heh heh! Do you think I was just going to let you do what you want?" Kammy asked.
After, she thundered at Bols and shocked him again. Put his knees on the ground, Bols grimaced in pain. However, getting up in time, he dodged a fireball at the last minute.
Wincing in pain, Bols breathed heavily as his two opponents faced him.
"What do you think you can do against us? " Kammy asked. " Don't you understand that you don't stand a chance against us?"
Simply remaining silent, Bols stared at Seryu who was still in her cage. Then, looking at Koro who was next to him, Bols asked.
"Seryu ... with your weapons, can you free yourself ? "
At first surprise, the young girl ends up affirming.
"If I have my weapons, no problem."
"Huh ? " Kammy wondered. " What are you talking about ? "
Suddenly, Bols grabbed Koro and hurled him at Lava Pirahna.
"Try to take this."
Surprised, seeing the teigu rush towards him like a cannonball, the monster lowered his head to avoid him.
"I missed you, loser." Giggles the plant monster.
"Are you sure ? " Bols asked.
" Huh ? "
"Koro, NUMBER 3 ! "
Turning aroundn Kammy was surprised to see Koro fly toward the cage and increase in size, before opening his huge jaws. Placing her arm between the bars of the cage, Seryu smirked devilishly, before letting her teigu bite it.
Apart from Bols, everyone was estonished to see Koro bite his mistress's arm, before replacing it with a long sword.
" SUNG DYNASTY BLADE ! "
" What ... what is that ? " Shouted Kammy.
In an instant, Seryu made a simple movement with her arm, managing to cut the cage in half. Surprised, Peach felt herself fall, as did the bottom of the cage. Nonetheless, Seryu's able-bodied arm circled around her waist. Then, resting her feet on the bottom of the still falling cage, Seryu managed to perform a jump that sent them away from the lava lake.
Taking a step back, Kammy saw the cage fall into the lava, as Koro and the two women landed in front of her.
"Impossible. "
Ignoring her, Seryu threw Peach's body over her, which ended up being intercepted by Bols.
"Bols, get Peach-san out of this castle."
"And you ? "
Smiling psychotically, Seryu let her upper body get bitten by Koro. Then, when she came out of his mouth, she was armed with several missile launchers.
"I'm going to take care of the people who took care of me ! This is going to be a massacre."
Nodding, Bols finally left. However, seeing him leave, Lava Pirahna opened his mouth to spit out a fireball.
"Like I'm gonna let you go."
However, a missile hit the back of his head, causing him to collapse forward.
"PIRAHNA ? " Kammy asked in surprise.
"I am your opponent." Seryu said, as Koro increased his body size.
"You little…" Lava Pirahna roared, standing up. "I'm going to kill you. "
"In your dreams." Seryu retorted. " Justice always beats evil. "
"Kurome ! KUROME ! "
Shaking the girl's body, Wave tried to get her to open her eyes. However, Kurome remained unconscious.
"Motherfucker ! " Wave roared, staring at Wario. "How dare you? "
"Hey, I'm not the culprit. " Retorted the fat man. " First, it's your girlfriend who stole my sword from me and wanted to fight to keep it ! And second, it is these strange cookies that she eats that they poisoned her. "
"What? What is this nonsense?"
"Do you really care about her health ? Don't make me laugh! Even a guy like me can guess the cookies she is eating are made with drugs that are killing her."
"Her cookies ? "
"Don't worry about her ! She's not going to die for so little."
Looking at Kurome, Wario sighed. This girl was a thief who had pissed him off. Yet Wario would never have thought of fighting such an epic fight against her. Kurome was a formidable warrior. So even though he didn't quite understand why he was doing this, he ended up rummaging in his bag.
"Wait a minute ! I'll see if I have a green mushroom left ! With that, you can heal his wounds."
"A green mushroom ? " Wave wondered.
Rummaging through his clothes, the boy finally removed the green mushroom he had found on the pirate ship.
"Yes! Mario had spoken about it !"
Lifting Kurome's face, Wave began to bring the mushroom closer to her mouth. In an instant, the mushroom shrank and grew small enough to be swallowed by Kurome.
Sparkling for a few seconds, Kurome's body healed from her wounds. Seeing this, Wave seemed reassured.
"Kurome! Are you okay?"
Grimacing, Kurome ended up opening her eyes slightly.
" Wa ... Wave ? "
"Don't worry Kurome ! Everything is fine! I'm here !"
Looking at them, Wario finally shrugged and pretended to leave. However, he stopped, hearing Wave cry out.
"Wait a minute! I want your saber."
"What ? " Wario asked, turning around. "Why do you want to steal it from me too?"
"No, I'm offering you a bet." Wave announced, activating his teigu.
Immediately, Wario was surprised to see him covered in black armor.
"Let's bet our weapons ! The loser gives his gun to the winner."
Seeing the power of Wave's sword, Wario recovered his smile, while asserting.
"Interesting ! If I can sell your sword, I would surely have enough money to be able to retire! Okay, fight accepted."
