One normal day in Dark Land, Bowser had just arrived home from a merciless beating from Mario and Luigi. Bowser had tried to kidnap Toad (Yes Toad, not Peach) in his sleep, but was caught in the act by Mario and Luigi and beaten to a pulp.
As Bowser arrived at Kastle Koopa all bruised and sore, he was greeted by his concerned family.
"Daddy, are you ok?" Wendy asked.
"What in the world happened" Morton asked.
"Honey, are you all right?" asked a concerned Clawdia.
"I'm fine, kids, Clawdia," Bowser said. "I just got caught in my mission."
Clawdia still looked quite concerned. "Are you sure?"
"I'm fine," Bowser stated. "Say, where's Junior?"
"Inside, watching one of his Transformers videos," Clawdia said.
Bowser limped into the living room to find Bowser Jr. watching his Transformers video. It was a scene where Starscream was being humiliated by Megatron. Megatron was dangling Starscream over a large hole threatening to drop him. "Either you were trying to have me killed with that stunt of yours, or you're just stupid!" Megatron shouted.
"I'm stupid! I'm stupid!" Starscream cried.
Bowser Jr. laughed hysterically at this. "Starscream is funny!" he said.
"I see you're a Transformers fan," Bowser said.
"Uh huh," was Bowser Jr's reply. "It kicks butt."
"Yeah, I remember this episode," Bowser said. "Poor, stupid Starscream."
Bowser Jr laughed. This was when he noticed his father's physical condition. Bowser Jr. looked horrified.
"Papa, what happened to you?"
"I was caught stealing Toad."
"... Why Toad?"
"... I don't really know," Bowser said. "I guess I figured he would be easiest to catch.
"Shouldn't you be in the hospital, though?"
"Nah,.I'm..." Bowser's eyes grew wide and he suddenly collapsed.
****************
"Dad, are you ok?"
"Shut up! You'll wake him!"
"Don't tell me what to do!"
"You guys, I think he's waking up!"
Bowser awoke in a large, white room with a red cross on the wall.
"Where am I?" Bowser asked weakly.
"The hospital," Ludwig said. "You passed out from exhaustion at at Kastle Koopa."
"Luckily Bowser Jr. found us and told us what happened," Larry said.
"So we rushed you to the hospital," Morton finished.
"Well I'm glad you all did," Bowser said, "because who knows what could've happened if you didn't."
"Once you're out of the hospital, I think you should take a vacation," Clawdia said.
Bowser sighed. "Maybe you're right."
"Of course I am," Clawdia said gently.
Suddenly a nurse walked in. "I'm sorry, but you will all have to leave."
Morton growled. "We ain't done talking to our dad yet."
"I'm sorry, but your dad needs rest now," the nurse said and started to push the Koopas out.
Morton just said snidely as he was being pushed, "And I'm sorry that you weigh as much as a tow truck."
The nurse then literally kicked the Koopas out.
Ludwig rubbed his arm, which he had landed on when being kicked out. "You always have to pick a fight with someone bigger than you, don't you?" he said to Morton.
Morton merely shrugged. "I can't help that the lady was fat."
"I just hope Daddy'll be ok," Wendy said.
"He will be," Roy assured her. "I'm positive."
****************************
It was a day after the Koopalings and Clawdia had visited Bowser. The Koopalings were all in the lounge thinking of a present they could surprise Bowser with.
"I think we should get Dad a vacation to Aqueas," Wendy said. "It's the most relaxing island in all of Water Land."
Morton started laughing hysterically at that. "Aqueas?! Is that the BEST name you could come up with for an island?"
Wendy looked steamed. "Oh yeah?! What can you come up with to give King Daddykins?" Wendy countered.
"A boxing tournament!" Morton exclaimed. "We set up a family boxing tourney to make Dad happy! We all know he loves to hurt people!
"But we all know which of us would win," Roy said. "King Dad, then me."
"Then who?" asked Morton grinning.
"Larry or Ludwig."
"... Then who?"
"Larry or Ludwig."
"Then who?"
"Wendy."
"Then?"
"Iggy."
"Then?"
"Lemmy."
"THEN?!"
"... Junior probably."
Morton looked furious.
"What ever will make Daddy happy,"Lemmy said. "Maybe I could do some tricks for him."
"Nah," said Larry. "We oughta just do something bad to the Mushroom Kingdom. That'll please him."
"Yeah," said Ludwig. "Dad does love mass destruction."
"But how would we cause so much chaos?" asked Bowser Jr. "We'd need to be as big as the robots in Transformers to do any REAL damage."
"That gives me an idea..." Iggy said, thinking hard. "I could build us all robot suits and we could cause a MASSACRE!"
"You already built us robots, Iggs," Morton said. "We still got beaten."
"I was eight when I built those bots," Iggy said. "My inventing skills have imprroved. And besides, Mario had the Super Scope."
"He still does," Ludwig said. "It's with E. Gadd."
"Perhaps one of us could steal it,"Iggy said. "Then Mario wouldn't be able to defeat us."
At this Junior leapt in front of his sibling and screamed, "This looks like a job for…"
Bowser Jr. pulled his magic paintbrush out of his shell and started twirling it like a staff.
"Shadow Mario!" he finished.
The Koopalings started to wring their hands out of excitement. Them, the Koopalings, finally defeating Mario… without any help from their father… Oh the joy! This would definitely be their best plan yet... Maybe they'd be put back in games for it... Yeah, that'd be nice.
"It's foolproof!" remarked Wendy. "This plan can't fail!"
"Tomorrow'll be the day Mario regrets everything!" Roy sneered evilly.
"Tomorrow... we strike!" yelled Lemmy.
"Huzzah!" cried the other Koopalings.
