During this time ... Back with Stylish and Luigi ...

"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Luigi screamed, while pulling Stylish by his collar, as they fled a group of Dry Bones.

being far from being afraid of enemies chasing them, while throwing body parts, Stylish seemed to think it over, before asking.

"How can these skeletons move around, like they're alive? And why are they throwing bones from their skeletons at us?"

"DO YOU THINK IT'S REALLY THE TIME TO ASK YOU THIS KIND OF QUESTION?" Luigi shouted in response to Stylish's question as he bent down to avoid getting hit by a bone. "Geez, you Jaegers, you really are nuts. "

"You're supposed to be a hero and you're just running away."

After defeating Grubba in the training room, Stylish and Luigi ran around the castle in search of Bowser's prisoners. However, all they found were enemies. Having hardly any more vials with him to help him fight, Stylish had finally let Luigi run, while pulling him behind him, while he looked with interest at the enemies following them.

"Why is my lab never there when I need it? With my tools, I'd already be dissecting these monsters to find out how their organisms work."

"Why do you always say such creepy things?"

Seeing a door in front of him, Luigi opened it before entering a room. Then, closing the door, he began to nail it with a dozen planks, before dropping to the ground.

"Phew ... saved."

"Where did you find these boards?" Stylish asked, seeing the door perfectly barricaded.

"I don't know."

Closing his eyes several times, Stylish finally pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket, which looked like a map showing part of Bowser's castle.

"What is it?" Luigi asked.

"While we were running I used my Quirk to draw a map of our entire journey! I think I was able to draw half of our enemy's castle already! However, we still have no idea where Bowser is ! Ert we also don't know where to go to find Seryu-san and Peach-san. "

Looking at his map, Luigi tried to pinpoint their position relative to where the basement entrance was.

"Hmmm ... probably at ..." before Luigi could respond, he could see something moving on the ceiling. He then went straight to run over Stylish and Luigi, who managed to narrowly avoid it.

They watched to see what was attacking them. It appeared to be a square block with spikes all over it, and it also had a big, grumpy face on it.

"A block of stone?" Stylish wondered. "It is alive?" "

He hardly asked his question when another block fell on them. Immediately the two men jumped out of the way again. Looking up, the scientist saw dozens of giant boulders, floating above them, while moving in various directions, before dropping down to strike the ground.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Luigi cried as more and more of them started to fall on them.

Hearing banging fists on the door behind them, Stylish asserted.

"There are our friends who seem to be waiting for us to kill us! Do you really want to go?"

"MAMMA MIA!" Luigi shouted, turning his head in all directions. "Are we going to die?"

Finally, seeing a door at the back of the room, he pointed to it, before shouting at himself.

"There we will be safe."

Starting to run towards it, Luigi cried out in fear, as blocks of stone dropped to the ground, trying to crush him. For his part, gracefully avoiding them, Stylish moved like a ballet dancer, and eventually came to the door first, waiting for Luigi to come running, almost on all fours, as he wept in fear.

Destroying the door, the green plumber got to safety, followed by Stylish, who examined where they were standing. They seemed to be in a long, narrow hallway that seemed endless. Impossible for them to know where this corridor led. However, there didn't seem to be any enemies.

"Now I think we have no choice but to walk through this place." Stylish said, before he and Luigi started walking down the long hallway. At the end of it, a koopa with binoculars watched Stylish and Luigi walk towards him.

"Captain, intruders are heading this way." said the koopa through binoculars.

"Excellent, take out the cannons." The captain said, before two soldiers brought two cannons down the hall. "Pull on my signal."

Continuing to walk without suspecting the danger, Luigi asserted.

"Even if you are a scientist, you seem to be good at fighting."

"Let's say I do my best not to die in battle! Usually, I let my army fight for me."

"Do you have an army?"

"Of course! I have hundreds of soldiers, ready to die in order to ..."

"WARNING!" Luigi yelled.

"Um?" Stylish gasped as he saw a huge torpedo with eyes and arms called a "bullet bill" coming straight at him.

Immediately bending down, the duo dodged the torpedo in extremis, which flew over their heads.

"Where did that come from!?" Stylish asked before seeing another torpedo coming towards him.

Grabbing his collar, Luigi made a huge leap that allowed them to avoid being hit.

"There must be someone at the end of this hall shooting at us." Luigi said.

Seeing that Luigi and Stylish had avoided the two torpedoes, the enemy captain asserted.

"There's no point in continuing ! Take out the orange cannons." The captain said as the soldiers put away the regular cannons and pulled out two orange cannons. "FIRE!" The captain shouted as the cannons fired orange bullets at Stylish and Luigi.

"Eh? OH NO! " Luigi cried as he saw the new projectiles rush towards them.

"What? What's so different about these bullets?" Stylish asked.

Suddenly he saw one of the projectiles hitting a wall and ricocheting in their direction.

"QUICK, RUN AWAY!" Luigi screamed.

"What's the matter with these weird weapons?" Stylish asked, who was forced to duck again to avoid the projectile.

"These torpedoes won't explode until they hit their target, so they'll keep bouncing off walls until they do." Luigi said, while continuing to run.

"Oh, so they bounce!" Stylish understood.

Suddenly, to Luigi's surprise, the scientist smiled.

"Even though I'm not good at attacking, I am the worst enemy of these kinds of attacks."

"Hey?"

"Stay right behind me, if you don't want to die."

Not needing to repeat it, Stylish saw Luigi rush behind him, while Stylish stared at the projectiles that began to ricochet all around him. However, much to Luigi's surprise, he just watched the ricochet projectiles, while dodging anyone who tried to hit him.

For his part, seeing the duo stand still, the enemy captain affirmed.

"No matter how strong the enemy is, no one can survive these kinds of attacks! HAHAHAHA!"

"H… Hey!" Luigi exclaimed, still seeing Stylish in a defensive stance. "What are you doing?"

Seeming to be focused, the scientist remained silent. Then, finally, dodging another projectile, Stylish finally said.

"I have been able to calculate the exact displacements of these projectiles."

"What?"

Suddenly, using his teigu, Stylish whirled his arms around. Passing near him, a few projectiles were hit by Stylish's hands so quickly that they didn'tt explode. However, this is enough for Stylish to change their directions. Thus, continuing to touch them, the scientist displayed a broad smile, while seeing the projectiles change direction.

"What is he doing?" The captain wondered.

"CAPTAIN! BE CAREFUL!" A soldier shouted.

Looking up, his boss screamed in fear, seeing the projectiles ricochet before heading towards them.

"AHHHHHHHHHH"

An explosion followed the captain's cry, destroying the cannons and throwing the soldiers to the sides.

"Perfect!" Stylish asserted, running a hand through his hair. "If the enemy is stronger than you, you only need to be smarter than him to win the battle."

Seeing him then walk quietly towards the end of the hall, Luigi could not but say.

"Unbelievable. "

"Hey! Where is the entrance to the basement?"

"We ... we don't have to be far! Normally, after leaving this hallway, we will find another door, which will allow us to find the entrance."

"Yosh, how are we doing there?" Stylish asked.

He suddenly heard a roar.

"You survived our bouncing torpedo assault, but can you dodge this one?" "Roared the enemy captain, with a megaphone."

Despite being injured, he pointed at a very large cannon behind him, convinced that his last weapon could allow him to win.

"Prepare to witness the power of the Banzai Project ! FIRE ! "

The captain shouted as a huge projectile came out of the barrel. It didn't have an arm, but it had a mean smile on it. This torpedo was ten times the size of a normal torpedo, and so wide, it could barely advance down the corridor without scraping the walls.

Pulling back immediately, Stylish groaned at the sight of the huge projectile.

"THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID THIS! WE ARE CONDEMNED!" Luigi screamed as he crouched down while covering his eyes with his hat.

Staring at him, Stylish turned to him, pulling out his last vial.

"I know! I have one last vial of elixir left, allowing someone's potency to be increased tenfold! If you drink it, you'll be as strong as before."

"What will that change?"

"I don't know." Stylish confessed, forcing him to drink. "It's up to you to fend for yourself."

Swallowing what he had in his mouth, Luigi's eyes went completely white, as the size of his muscles increased tenfold. With a wild beast cry, he rushed towards the torpedo without the slightest hesitation. then, making a jump, he directed his two feet towards the projectile, which he struck with force. In an instant, the torpedo stopped before being thrown back.

Seeing this, the enemy captain could not but say.

"Mom ..."

Then, a second explosion took place, shaking the whole castle.


Meanwhile ... back with Tatsumi and Mario ...

Tatsumi and Mario fought against a huge group of soldiers as they approached Bowser's throne. Mario jumped on them, while Tatsumi hit them with his sword. Despite seeing their comrades fall to the ground, the enemies did not give up hope and began to surround them.

"Looks like we're trapped." said Mario.

"So let's finish them all at once." Tatsumi said, shining her teigu.

Then, in an instant, the soldiers saw him cover himself in white armor.

"That ...?"

Suddenly making himself invisible, Tatsumi rushing towards his enemies and taking advantage that they cannot see him to strike them with force in order to stun them. Taking advantage of this diversion, Mario swallowed a red flower, before creating fireballs in his hands.

Thus, in a few seconds, the soldiers were either beaten or burned. Anyway, when Tatsumi became visible again, the enemies were all down.

"They are not strong, but their overcrowding is a real problem." The red plumber remarked.

Then looking at Tatsumi, Mario stared at his armor, which reminded him of Wave's.

"Do the soldiers in your world all have armor like yours?"

"No! It's only Wave and I have one! Okay, where's Bowser?"

"Nice to see you again, Mario." Yelled an unknown character.

Mario turned to see a large drop of paint fall on him, luckily he dodged it, but Tatsumi was hit instead.

"Bleagh! What was that!? " Tatsumi wanted to know, trying to wipe off her helmet.

Mario looked at the aggressor. He looked like Bowser, except he was smaller. He had a red bandana around his neck and he was holding some kind of paintbrush.

"Bowser Jr! " Mario gasped as he recognized him.

"I knew you would try to steal my mom-to-be from my dad again, but I won't let you do that, because today I will make my dad proud by beating you." Bowser Jr. said as he prepared to fight, until Tatsumi found himself in front of him.

"You are dead."

Crying out in fear, Bowser Jr took refuge in his shell, forcing Tatsumi to hit it. Thrown back, Bowser Jr hit a wall and despite being protected by his shell, he had been injured by Tatsumi's attack.

"Jaeger ..."

"You want to play with us? COME! " Tatsumi screamed before Mario stopped him.

"Wait-a minute Tatsumi, I'll-take care of him." said Mario.

"What? But Mario…" Tatsumi started to say, before Mario stopped him again.

"Listen Tatsumi, I'm going to-deal with Junior on my own-a. Besides, you-a one who really wants to beat-a Bowser, haven't you? I've beaten him several times before, so go ahead, I'll catch up with him later. " Mario said without looking away from Junior.

Tatsumi then smiles.

"Thanks Mario, you really are the greatest." Tatsumi said, "I'll slaughter Bowser, I swear."

"Thank you, hurry up!" Said Mario.

Tatsumi started running to the throne room before turning back to Mario, who had just given Tatsumi the green light. Tatsumi responded by giving him a thumbs up, before rushing to the throne room. Mario then watched Bowser Jr.

"Let's go!" Mario said before charging Bowser Jr.

"You're going to lose this time!" Bowser Jr. said before charging Mario.


Tatsumi walked through the hallways which had portraits of Bowser on the wall and statues of Bowser next to the paintings.

"BOWSER!" Tatsumi shouted before stepping through the door to the throne room.

"Huh?" The humanoid creature wondered, hearing Tatsumi's voice, before seeing him enter the throne room, while smashing the door.

Watching the door fly before landing at his feet, Bowser was surprised at first before standing up angrily.

" Eh !? How dare you barge in and enter like you own the place? And who are you? It's Mario I was waiting for! " Bowser said looking at Tatsumi from his feet to his face. "Well that's completely new to me ! Usually it's Mario who comes here and unluckily beats me in battle, but now it's a guy in armor? Wait, do you really think your stupid armor can you win against me? "

"You're Bowser, aren't you? Well, get ready, cause I'm here to kick your ass! "Said Tatsumi." I'm going to make it so that you can never take it out on Peach-san or anyone else again. "

"Gwa ha ha ha ha ha! It's funny ! What makes you think a skinny dip like you can beat me? " Bowser asked. "You're a member of the Jaegers, aren't you? I've already won against the scientist and the psychopath! Your group doesn't stand a chance against me."

"If you're so confident, come on, I'll wait for you ! I promise I'll kick your ass before you can figure it out."

This angered Bowser and jumped right in front of Tatsumi.

"You got a big mouth despite your stupid little head! I'll show you why they call me "the king of the koopa."

However, barely had he finished speaking when Tatsumi's fist hit his face, flattening his muzzle. Flying towards his throne, Bowser destroyed it, as he cried out in pain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Motherfucker!"

"Phew! Sorry! " Said Tatsumi. " I really thought you would be more resilient."

Standing up while showing only hatred in his eyes, Bowser rushed towards him so quickly that Tatsumi was surprised. Then it was Bowser who hit him in the abdomen, causing him to fly backwards. He crashed into a wall through the door it had passed through, leaving a trail of dust on impact.

"Gwa ha ha ha ha! Is this the best you can do? Why don't you get lost, because the only loser I see here is ... "

Before Bowser could finish his sentence, he winced, as he grabbed his fingers, which appeared to be broken.

"What ? "

"Never underestimate the strength of my armor." Tatsumi advised him, who had risen to his feet, as if nothing had happened. "As you can see, you broke your hand hitting it."

Then, tilting his head to the side to crack the muscles in his neck, Tatsumi declared.

"You talk too much! In fact, it's quite annoying during a fight."

Bowser stared at him, confused by what had just happened.

" What have you done ? " Bowser asked angrily. "Did your armor break my hand? It's cheating."

"You've got a shell! I've got armor! I don't see how it is cheating! And then, it's you who declared war on the Jaegers! So, bear the consequences."

"Grrr! Who do you think you are, brat bastard ? "Bowser asked." Did you forget that I have your friend hostage? If ever I give the order, she will be immediately killed! Is that really what you want? "

"Yes." Tatsumi assured, without hesitation. "In fact, you will do me a great favor if you kill Seryu."

"What ?" Bowser wondered. "Wait, isn't that your friend?"

"My friend? Don't say anything!" In fact, if I can get home, I hope, before that, that I can kill her to avenge my true friend. "

Not knowing what to think what he had just heard, Bowser finally shook his head, before declaring.

"Why am I thinking? All I care about is killing you."

Then, inhaling a large amount of air, he ended up creating a torrent of flames. Simply jumping, Tatsumi found himself on top of him, before hitting him on the top of the head, with his heel.

Groaning in pain, Bowser tried to punch Tatsumi. However, he was surprised not to see him anywhere.

"Huh? Where are you?"

Suddenly, he was hit in the stomach, by an invisible blow.

"What ...?"

"I warned you." Tatsumi's voice assured.

Suddenly appearing in front of the koopa, he declared.

"I would no longer let any villain rule and instill their terror, no matter what world I find myself in."
