Bowser Jr. Runs Away from Dark Land

By Red Koopa

The war has brought Mario, Wario, and General Guy to Space Junk Galaxy in the far reaches of the universe.

Mario: Where’s Bowser? When will he show his face?

Wario: He’s a coward, he’ll make you face his minions first so he can run away.

General Guy: Well he is coward, I guess. I mean, he looked confident when he gave me the Star Spirit, and since then he has that scared look on his face.

Mario: Let’s keep looking.

Meanwhile on board a space doomship there is some racket. General Grievodvich is fencing with Smithy for practice.

Smithy: Perfect, control the pace by continuing to move. Stop the boring standard attacks, use your aggressive moves.

Grievodvich is gaining an advantage as he attacks nonstop, but Smithy defends every attack until he shoves Grievodvich into a bunch of crates. Grievodivch keeps attacking him with his two swords.

Smithy: Still stall my progress? You’re holding the sword the wrong way, now you’ve lost your grip on it.

The sword flies into the air only to fall and knock off Smithy’s head.

Smithy: Where did you get so good at fencing?

General Grievodivch: From fighting that Shy Guy warrior.

Smithy: Very well. Your skills are much better then I thought they would be before I created you.

Smithy gives Grievodvich his sword back. Bowser comes over to the two.

Bowser: Wise training, my friends. General, are the troops ready for our attack?

General Grievodvich: Yes, Lord Bowser. Lewis is not with them as I severely injured him.

Grievodvich gets out his spear to walk with.

Bowser: Very good! Everything is according to plan. Release Operation Surprise.

Smithy: Surprise, shock them unpre-

Bowser covers Smithy’s mouth.

Bowser: Shut up! The reader will figure out what it is if you talk.

Smithy: Sorry.

An escape pod is launched and falls right in front of an asteroid that keeps moving. On the doomship Bowser is leading the Koopa troop to Starshrooms.

Bowser: Lead the Shy Guys into the asteroid field.

Mario, Wario, and General Guy are in a Shy Guy cruiser.

General Guy: The Koopa Troop is going into an asteroid field.

Mario: Alert the fleet to follow them.

Wario: Are you nuts?! We aren’t actually going into an asteroid field.

Mario: They’d keep running into asteroids, because the Koopa Troop isn’t very smart.

The cruisers start firing, starting a space battle. The escape pod from earlier launches a green thing with Koopa Troop minions at the cruiser Mario, Wario, and General Guy are in.

Shy Guy: Sir, a few enemies broke into the ship.

Mario: What?!

Mr. L breaks in and shoots every Shy Guy except General Guy.

Mario: Luigi?

Wario: Who’s this loser, another Koopa agent? Please!

Mario: Then Luigi’s here?

A transmission from the space doomship comes on the viewing screen. Bowser and Smithy are standing there.

Bowser: No, you brainless plumber! I stole a piece of Luigi’s hair and cloned him.

Flashback…

At one o’ clock Mario and Luigi are asleep in bed. Bowser comes in the room.

Bowser: Better hurry.

Bowser pulls a piece of hair off Luigi. Bowser leaves and Mario wakes up.

Mario: I need to use the bathroom.

Mario goes to the bathroom and flushes the toilet.

Mario: I shouldn’t have had that lasagna cream before bed.

Mario jumps back into bed and falls asleep. Bowser puts the hair into a machine. A Luigi clone comes out.

Bowser: Success!

End Flashback…

Smithy: Now you have to deal with two of our agents!

Bowser: Now enjoy your stay with Mr. L.

The transmission fades away.

Mr. L: Look, I’d love to stay and chat, but I gotta go.

Mr. L breaks the glass on the window, causing the suction of space to suck up everything including Mr. L. However, Bowser created him to be able to breathe in space. Mr. L throws a bomb onto the cruiser. He then uses a rope to get onto a space doomship.

Mario: Mr. L put a bomb on our ship.

The bomb explodes, causing Mario, Wario and General Guy to float through space.

Wario: What now?

General Guy: Let’s find a way out of this mess.

Mario: Hold on.

Mario gets out a grappling hook and throws it on a nearby ship and pulls himself, Wario, and General Guy toward another Shy Guy cruiser. Mario opens a hatch and falls through along with Wario and General Guy. A Shy Guy walks up to Mario.

Shy Guy: Sir, we must stop the attacks of the super space doomship. It plans on destroying Plit.

Mario: Get to the fighters. Wario and General Guy, come with me.

The three run and get on Starshrooms each with their own symbol. Several fighters follow our three heroes to the super space doomship. Onboard the ship, Smithy is talking to some Koopas.

Goomba: Plit will be in range in ten minutes.

The Goomba walks to see Bowser when the doomship is hit.

Bowser: That wasn’t an asteroid, that was a fighter. Goomba, get the crew to their fighters.

Goomba: Yes sir.

The Goomba walks away. Mr. L is walking to Brobot.

Mr. L: So those pests survived my bomb. I’ll get rid of them for good this time.

Mr. L gets in and flies away. The armies meet each other.

Shy Guy Pilot: There are too many of them.

Mario: They’re heading for the medical cruiser.

Mario’s Starshroom destroys the Koopas.

General Guy: Pilots, this is your general speaking. Some of you, lure the fighters away from the doomship.

Wario: Mario, let’s start our attack.

Mario: I got you.

Two Starshrooms attack the super doomship.

Bowser: Evacuate!!!

Everyone panics.

Computer Voice: Plit will in range in one minute.

Bowser: Never mind.

Everyone goes back to what they were doing.

Mario: The way to the main reactor is this way.

Wario: We have a problem.

Mario: What is it?

Wario: That Mr. L loser is following us.

Mr. L: Here I come, l-osers.

Brobot fires missiles that Mario and Wario barely dodge.

Mr. L: How about lasers?

Brobot opens fire with lasers, forcing Mario and Wario to fly next to each other.

Mr. L: Pests! How about this?

Brobot launches a fist that damages Mario’s Starshroom.

Mario: I got hit, but not badly. I’ll see what I can do.

Mr. L: Almost in range for that red loser…

Onboard the super space doomship Bowser, Smithy, and Grievodvich get in a shuttle that leaves.

Computer: Plit in range.

Goomba: You may fire when ready.

A Hammer Bro pushes a button and pulls a lever.

Mr. L: Got you, huh?

Brobot is blasted away by General Guy’s Starshroom.

General Guy: Wahoo!!! Blow it now.

Mario’s Starshroom drops a Bob-omb in a hole that leads to the main reactor

Mario: Move the fleet away from the doomship.

Mario, Wario, and General Guy move away. The Goomba stands there. Then the super space doomship explodes. Brobot flies back to Plit.

Mario: Plit is saved!

Later, the shuttle arrives in Dark Land.

Bowser: We had two agents, but they saved Plit.

Smithy: It is time we unleashed a third agent.

Grievodvich: Who will be the supreme commander of the Koopa armies?

Smithy: One of our agents. You and the other two-

Bowser covers Smithy’s mouth.

Bowser: No! The reader could find out.

Smithy: But the reader is supposed to.

Bowser: Not yet, it would spoil the fun.

The three go inside Bowser’s castle.

At Peach’s castle, the heroes are sitting where they were last time.

Waluigi: This is too much. Now there are two of them.

Mario: But not as bad as the first one; this one is a clone of Luigi!

Luigi: What?!

Mario: Listen, Luigi, hold on. I need to talk to Luigi in private.

Lewis: Understood, Mario.

Mario and Luigi go up to the third floor of the castle where the time hole was, out on the balcony where there is nobody else. When Mario is confident that they’re alone, he begins.

Mario: Luigi, you weren’t yourself for most of the time during Super Paper Mario. ..

This would take up most of the page, so I’ll skip past this part.

Mario: Now Bowser has cloned you and made Mr. L.

Luigi: So I was evil?

Mario nods, with sadness in his eyes.

Luigi: Why didn’t you tell me before?

Mario: I couldn’t find a good time to tell you. I didn’t plan on telling you today, but since you were cloned I had to. I’m sorry I kept this secret from you.

Tears fall down Luigi’s eyes.

Luigi: I see, Mario.  I forgive you, Mario.

The two walk down to see the other heroes talking with Toad.

Toad: An unknown attacker is terrorizing Water Land. An assault occurred on Planet Shroob. They are holding but they need help. Also another attack was made on Shy Guy’s Toybox.

General Guy: We are in serious trouble. Come, Lewis, we must defend the Toybox.

Lewis: We will go to the Toybox.

Mario: I’ll go to Water Land alone.

Wario: What about the rest of us?

Mario: Go to Planet Shroob and help out there.

Luigi: I’ll go!

Waluigi: Break time’s over, I’m going too.

Wario: I have to stay and guard the castle.

Later in Water Land near Wendy’s castle, several Shy Guy ships approach a Koopa base. Wendy is there listening to Bowser on a TV screen.

Bowser: I want you and our agent to fight whoever arrives. It won’t be long before the armies of the Shy Guys track you there. I want the battle underwater.

Wendy: What about other things down there, like the Big Blooper?

Bowser: Cover the red tentacle and don’t use fire.

Wendy: But fire won’t work underwater.

Bowser: Koopa fire is different. Now get to work.

The TV screen goes black. Wendy gets out a microphone.

Wendy: (through the microphone) Get underwater and stay there until I say so.

Onboard the Shy Guy ship, Mario is standing. A Shy Guy walks up to him.

Shy Guy: The army is underwater.

Mario: Launch the attack, I’ll deal with this mysterious attacker. Tell one ship to stay and guard the castle.

The Shy Guy leaves. Mario and the Shy Guys jump out of the ships and go underwater, and are met by Koopa Troopas, Cheep Cheeps, and Bloopers. Mario jumps out of the water and goes into the castle.

Mario: I have a bad feeling about this.

Mario grabs a Fire Flower and becomes Fire Mario. He then fries any enemies that get in his way. He then goes up an observatory staircase about four stories tall. He then makes it to the room where Wendy is, but she is not alone.

Wendy: Mario, King Dad knew you would arrive. However, I must leave. I have a new friend who will keep you company.

Wendy jumps out the window, shattering the glass.

Wendy: Ow! I told that Hammer Bro to leave the window open! Anyway, enjoy your stay, plumber freak!

Wendy gets out a remote and pushes a button that launches Mario and the figure she was with back out into the water. The figure reveals itself to be Jojora.

Mario: You? I thought Luigi and I finished you at Joke’s End. How did you come back?

Jojora: I escaped and eventually found Bowser, who made me an agent of his. I will not fail!

Jojora gets out her wand and tries to blast Mario, who dodges. Mario swims to the bottom of the ocean and grabs a rock and throws it at Jojora, hitting her. She creates a bubble and throws it at Mario, hitting him and knocking him into a huge rock. This dazes him for a few seconds and gives Jojora enough time to knock him onto the shore. Mario recovers and kicks Jojora when she tries to tackle him. She is launched onto a place where a deep canyon is. Mario punches Jojora and she backflips and kicks Mario to the edge of the canyon, where he holds on for his life. Jojora walks forward to knock away his grip on the ledge. Mario grabs a rock and throws it at Jojora, dazing her and giving him enough time to get up and knock Jojora into the canyon. Jojora drops  400 feet before falling into a pond there.

Mario: That wasn’t as easy as the last time I fought her.

A Shy Guy transmission is waiting for Mario, as he gets ready to go help the Shy Guys finish the battle.

The war seems to have become worse as the casualties keep getting higher in each battle, not just on one side but both. The decision that Bowser Jr. made was the beginning of one of the deadliest wars in the history of Plit. After all, there hasn’t been a full-scale war in the kingdoms of Plit since the days of the rivalry between King Toadstool and Morton Sr, and that was almost thirty years ago. Can Mario and his friends restore peace? Darker the coming story is.
