Mario, Peach Luigi, Bowser.

That’s a pretty normal line-up. This would typically be the moment when those three, possibly accompanied by some Toad or another, would foil Bowser’s ultimate plan and destroy his fortress just as they push him into some lava and severely injure him.

But Bowsette was different.

Something about this new body, this new plan gave him such a feeling of elation and power that he hadn’t felt for so long. And he would utilize that energy to destroy anything in his path.

Mario, Fire Flower power-up inside him, shot forward with fireballs, then blowing his Super Cape forward to increase the intensity of the flames. Bowsette let each of them hit him, absorbing them inside of him. He wasn’t entirely sure that would happen but he was glad that it did.

“Kakakakaka!”

Bowsette sent all of the fireballs back at Mario and they blew up at him, costing his power-up and turning him into Mini-Mario.

The Bone Dragon bit into the Brobot with two of its three heads while the third bashed its head into the cockpit. It punched pack but there were too many targets and its fists could find no specific target.

Within minutes, the Brobot was destroyed and Luigi was sent falling to the ground, his Mr. L costume tattered and ruined.

Mini-Mario jumped on Bowsette’s head a few times, which kinda hurt, and he was worried the crown might fall off, but it wasn’t enough to do any real damage. Bowsette took the adorable little guy, just three feet tall, and shook his head. “Mario, Mario, Mario. What am I going to do with you?”

“Let me go!” he shouted with a squeaky high-pitched voice.

“Okay!” Bowsette let Mini-Mario go--

And kicked him! Kicked him really hard!

Mario flew past the castle grounds, past Toad Town, past the Mushroom Kingdom, past the curvature of the Earth...

And he was gone.

Bowsette clasped his hands together and closed his eyes smiling. “I can’t believe it’s gone so smoothly!”

Peach, though, wasn’t having it. She attacked with her frying pan, swinging it wildly... and missing wildly as well.

Bowsette took the frying pan and threw it aside. He grabbed Peach by the back of her dress and pulled her close.

“You’re done, Princess Toadstool.”
