"You have one last chance Mario! SUBMIT!" The King of the Koopas voice boomed even through the sound of thunder and rain. From atop the highest tower of the Mushroom Kingdoms royal castle he could be seen by all onlookers, all that weren't fleeing the assault of his armies. He was larger now, stronger, his shell thicker and his eyes shimmered with a cruel spark of orange flame. His opponent, barely able to keep on his feet, so far had yet to even cause Bowser cause for alarm. Where his openings had once been, the Italian kept finding himself countered viciously. And where the reptile had been weak before, he was now stronger than ever. "The powers of the dark star have pushed me beyond anything you can muster fool! Surrender while you are still alive..." King Koopa grinned toothily, displaying his massive fangs to further menace his old rival, now so pathetically underwhelming. "....that I may keep you as a prize. A SYMBOL OF MY GLORY!"
"HUUUAAAAAAAGGH!" Bowser roared into the sky, arms spread wide, baring his massive, scaled chest with pride and vanity. An eruption of roiling flames spewed from his throat up into the air several stories high, and at the apex of its flight the mass of fire exploded in all directions. Dozens of smaller fireballs, each the size of the King himself, flew outwards from the Palace and into the city. As explosions lit the kingdom-already-under siege Bowser continued his monologue.
"YOU WILL SUFFER! For all the humiliation! For every time you have stolen victory from me!" The Koopa went silent, his demeanor suddenly calming, tense, but calm. "No...that is wrong of me. I apologize. You WON those victories. I have come to see that now. I WAS weak, I WAS the inferior. All those years I deserved every defeat." That smile again. "But not anymore. I have been shown a higher purpose." Those shining eyes moved towards the Princess, who was being held by a pair of particularly massive, humanoid Goombas. "A purpose I'm going to take great pleasure in using your precious Peach to achieve." After licking his lips, Bowsers attention went back to his nemesis. "Very well then." Shrugging his massive shoulders Bowser raised his arms high above his head, balling his massive fists. "I can see you will never surrender. I will try not to kill you, as I'd really rather keep you around as a pet. But I do have to make a show of this in the end, after all..." As every muscle in King Koopa's body tensed, his left eye shone for the briefest of moments as bright as any star. "This may be the last time I ever speak to you again...."
