Off to a Better Place
Bowser was about to punch Benedict straight in the mouth, until he heard the man speak. He stopped for a moment, cupping his chin with his claw in thought. "That is a hot steal..." He said, as Agent 3 meanwhile managed to get a few of the massive balls of flame down from the air, though not many. As the barrage of missiles and explosives from Laffey came his way, Bowser smirked and immediately blocked his face with his arms. The explosions hit his torso, but his reinforced skin managed to protect himself from the bulk of the damage, though he was sent skidding back a bit.
Once the barrage subsided, Bowser smirked. "That all you got, wimp!?" He taunted, and he noticed Praetorian shooting several green lasers in his direction. Bowser immediately began sprinting forwards, holding his arm out in front of him to block those shots from hitting him. The spiky bracelets he wore around his wrists deflected his shots easily, each one bouncing off and threatening to strike Ben, Lu Bu, and Dib respectively. Once he was in close enough, Bowser leaped up into the air and brought his massive claw upwards, before sending it striking downwards, threatening to claw Praetorian right in half if he wasn't careful!
Ruby's high speeds thanks to her semblance would work wonders against the Koopa King, however, as her high caliber rounds managed to strike Bowser right in the side of the face due to him being too distracted with Praetorian to notice her! The shots sent him stumbling back a bit, the gigantic lizard letting out several grunts as he did so. Before he could even recover, Ruby had already slashed her scythe his way, which he narrowly blocked by holding up his arm again, using his superior strength to his advantage as he kept the blade from striking him. In the mere moments he had to properly strike against Ruby, he lifted up one of his stubby feet in an attempt to kick her right in the stomach. If it connected, it shouldn't have done any lasting damage, but it would have been enough to get her off of him.
"Is now really the fucking time to argue!?" Jason shouted in response to Julia, who was narrowly dodging the bursts of flame that he had sent crashing down from his mouth. When Julia attempted to use her psychic abilities to lift Bowser up, she would immediately be met with a splitting headache and not much else. It was like whatever figure that had attacked her when she was spying before had done his attack again, though this time it was tenfold.
It was then that Bowser had been shot at by Mami, which he hadn't noticed due to the flurry of attacks coming his way. He hissed in pain as they struck his foot. "GAH!! Who the heck--" Bowser was interrupted by the sound of the gun being tossed against the ground. He looked in its direction and noticed Mami attempting to hide behind Praetorian for cover, who he had already attempted to strike earlier. Whether the hit against the machine struck or not didn't really matter too much, because as soon as Mami made herself known, Bowser would attack again, this time with his putrid fire breath!
"BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!" Bowser shouted as a gigantic gust of pure flame shot out of his mouth. Unlike the segmented spheres of fire from before, this was one endless stream and covered a much large radius, and was shot in Praetorian and Mami's direction! If they didn't dodge or counter it in time, they would both no doubt be burned alive! It was also a shame that Medic's syringes were burned in the oncoming flame. They could have probably given Bowser Hepatitis C!
Meanwhile, as Zim shot the fleeing ship, it exploded in a flurry of flame and burning wood and smoke. In the air, those who were looking could see Wario flying off into the distance, screaming at the top of his lungs (and occasionally eating more garlic) as he did so.
The bolt of lightning that Eric had sent towards Bowser was only narrowly dodged as well. Bowser noticed it crashing down upon him, and a split second before it hit, he ducked into his shell and blocked it entirely, the bright beam bouncing off like a rubber ball against a hard wall! It was then that Inazuma came charging towards him as well. Bowser threw a simple punch to counter him, but to his surprise, he had instead leaped over him and fired off several shots towards his face. "Agh! DANGIT!" He shouted as he closed his eyes and attempted to swat the bullets away and was sent stumbling back because of it. The blue flames from Alexis' sword happened to be shot around this time as well, and they sent Bowser stumbling back a bit more as he attempted to swat them away as well. Midgardsormr's lightning attacks achieved the same effect as well, and all these seemed to be overwhelming the Koopa King.
Because of the fumbling and stumbling and swatting, Bowser's arms were raised upwards into the air. By the time they had cleared, Bowser didn't even have time to move his arms back down, as he soon felt a sharp pain right below his arm. He let out a loud scream as the sword was thrust inside of him, though the rush of pain had quickly brought him back into reality as he stared on at the one in front of him.
No words escaped the Koopa King's lips as he used his other arm to rip the sword straight out of his body with a small hiss and a slight wince. With one move, Bowser brought the sword downwards to his knee and snapped it in half with his brute strength alone, before tossing the pieces aside. He then brought his leg up and attempted to kick Marvus away, though unlike Ruby this kick was filled with much more force than last time. If it connected, Marvus would probably have a few broken bones upon landing a few feet away. Bowser then noticed CN-Tan coming straight for him from above, to which he easily countered by grabbing her neck with his massive fist. The sheer force from his scaly fingers wrapping around it would have made her feel like she was about to have her neck snapped in half at any moment, though just before the life drained from her body, the Koopa King slammed her down into the ground, leaving a massive crack and a small crater beneath.
Much like Julia, for whatever reason, Sans couldn't even access Bowser's soul or mind or anything beyond physical. It was as if he was being shut out from it by some outside force.
The explosions that surrounded Bowser, combined with Shilo's light bending attack, disoriented him long enough for Shilo to get about two good shots in on him. However, it still didn't do much good, as he quickly outright blocked the bullets with his palm and charged forward like a rhinoceros. Despite her bullets clearly causing him pain, as evidenced by the winces and small hisses he gave off with each shot, he managed to shrug it off long enough to reach Shilo. "You chumps are startin' to get on my nerves!" Once he was close enough, he used his blocking hand to grab her gun and crush it like it was plastic, and then used his other hand to ball up a fist, reel it backwards, and shoot it forwards for a large uppercut to her jaw. If it connected, she would no doubt be sent flying.
The explosion Batman had placed under his leg didn't fair too well either, as Bowser quickly ripped it right off his leg and threw it towards Odessa before she could knock his tail off, hoping that it would explode once it connected with her general area.
But, it was all for naught, it seemed, as Lu Bu soon began surrounding him in smoke. He attempted to punch, kick, and breathe fire towards her, but it all meant nothing. Due to her being completely intangible to his methods of attack, he was practically useless against her. The smoke filled his lungs and he found it harder and harder to breathe. "G-get... COUGH! COUGH! away from me...!" He weakly shouted as he attempted to desperately fight back. However, it was soon over for Bowser. He couldn't breathe. He knew that he was done for. His eyes were getting heavier. His knees were starting to buckle. He couldn't see anything. All he could do was cough and weakly through punches, and then this in combination with Thae's scythe slashes to the already weakened Koopa, caused an eventual...
THUD!
Before all of you, Bowser had collapsed.
He was done.
You had won.
Panting with effort, the assassin ensured that she had truly incapacitated her target, before reforming, the mushroom wearing off as she shrank back to her usual size. Weakly stumbling back to the group, she gave a thumbs up. That much smoke, and the force of pushing it into Bowser's lungs, it had taken every ounce of her willpower to ignore the burning in her muscles from the strain alone. Keeping up her assault had left her on the verge of collapse, but she'd done it. She'd outwitted the overgrown turtle's iron defense.
Or so she thought.
As Bowser lay upon the ground, seemingly defeated, you all heard it. It was a deep, sinister, almost demonic cackle. You didn't see who it was coming from, and it certainly wasn't Bowser. It didn't even sound like Bowser. This voice was much deeper... more smooth... more sinister. Like it knew it was intimidating and the kind of tone it inflicted. It was like a god had suddenly entered the ring.
"Heh heh heh heh heh..." The voice chuckled. Before you all, a pure ball of darkness began slowly descending from the sky. Any attack on it would be absorbed by the darkness. Some of you, such as Eric and Praetorian, would recognize this all too familiar substance. The ball wasn't entirely pitch black, but it was evident enough what it was.
Twilight.
"You've all done well... for mere insects," The voice gloated. It wasn't Zant, as the present Foundation members may speculate. But rather, something even more evil. Something that transcended even that of the monster who had masterminded the Tesseract Incident. "But I'm afraid that your little game must be cut short."
Beat Beat.
The ball lowered.
Beat Beat.
You couldn't stop it.
Beat Beat.
"Witness my power!"
"EVERYONE GET THE FUCK BACK!"
The ball lowered itself onto Bowser, and the voice laughed as a giant aura of pure Twilight shot out of his unconscious body, knocking you all off your feet. By the time you emerged, Bowser was gone, and replaced by a new form. One that Thae had attempted to create as an illusion earlier, but now here it was, standing here in the flesh before all of you, holding Lu Bu up several feet off the ground by her neck.
"It's showtime, chumps."
With one swift move, the newly formed Dark Bowser nonchalantly tossed Lu Bu aside like she was mere paper. However, to the heroine, it was as if she had been hit with the total concussive force of an entire planet. Like a ragdoll, she was thrown to the other end of the arena. She would have no time to move, breathe, or even think, as Bowser soon disappeared from all your sights in a flurry of Twilight particles. The particles reappeared mid-air, and Bowser had brought both fists together and slammed them down onto Lu Bu's stomach, sending her crashing down into the arena. Her body formed another crack onto the ground, and Bowser landed beside her, planting a foot on her chest.
"Man, this Twilight stuff is awesome! I can kick all your butts without even blinking!" The demonic form of Bowser boasted with a proud smirk as more people attempted to attack him. First, he outright snatched the soda straight from Karoko's palms like the jerk he was. "Don't mind if I do!" He shouted as he drank the entire can in one gulp, before cupping one end in his palm and attempting to crush the can against Karoko's forehead. If successful, the hit would leave him disoriented for a few moments. After that, he nonchalantly rose a hand and swat the missile out of the air with the back of it, before his attention was redirected towards the talking Fox/human hybrid. "You think you're the king of shadows, punk!?" Dark Bowser then shouted as he craned his towards Thae. A twisted grin curled upwards on his snout as Twilight practically poured off him like a fountain. He stood there for a few moments, grinning, and eventually he disappeared once more in a flurry of Twilight.
Literal nanoseconds later he reappeared right behind Thae as if he'd outright teleported behind him. He grinned as he balled up his fist, the dark aura surrounding it like a cloud. "How about an A+!?" He exclaimed, and with the force and speed of a bullet, Bowser fired a Twilight fueled punch towards his face. If it connected, Thae would feel as if a literal building had smacked him across the face as he fell back several feet. It was then that Dib was sent flying towards him as well, to which Bowser replied by forming a literal bat out of Twilight.
With the stance of a professional baseball player, Bowser gripped the handle tightly in his hands as he waited for Dib to come down upon him. Dark clones of himself formed around him and began to cheer him on, saying things like, "Smack his dumb face!" and "Break his stupid glasses!" Once Dib was close enough, Bowser leaped into the air swung the bat as hard as he could, and no doubt connected the Twilight-bat with his gargantuan skull.
The hit would have been enough to send Dib flying right back on top of Dedede! In response, Dark Bowser simply laughed and his clones cheered himself on. "AND HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S OUTTA HERE!" The original Dark Bowser shouted as his clones rejoined himself and he tossed the bat to the side, it disappearing moments later.
Dark Bowser's head, finally, craned towards Medic and Makoto. His lips formed a twisted smile and dark saliva made of Twilight dripped from them. "A super attack, huh?" He asked as he began walking towards them both, moving his neck to the side and cracking it slightly. However, instead of attacking them, Dark Bowser stood there, staring at both of them. A grin formed on his face as he looked them both in the eye. "You really think that you can do some big thing that takes me down right here, right now? C'mon then, do it! Do some amazing thing that kills me and saves everyone else!" He screamed as he waved his arms in the air to further taunt them. He was trying to get under their skin. Trying to taunt them. A smirk soon curled back onto his lips, and he held out his arm, presenting himself to Makoto.
"Take your best shot, twerp."
