Alternate Chapter 18: Mario and Bowser’s Final Battle
When we last left Randy, he was caught in the middle of conflict with his best friend, Mario, and his father, Bowser. He knew he had to pick one of them to help, but he couldn’t decide which one. At least, not at the moment. As the two archenemies continued to struggle against one another, the rest of the Mario Gang arrived on the scene.
Mario: Randy, who do you want to help? Me or the evil king here?
Randy: I… I…
Bowser: Don’t put pressure on him! You’ll only make it difficult for him!
Mario: Make what difficult for him? Whether to decide between a hero, or a giant turtle that’s been beaten a thousand times by a plumber from Brooklyn? You don’t care about him at all! You just want him to join your side to make it easier for you to win! Face it, Bowser! He’s worthless to you, just like everyone else!
Mario had just made a very big mistake. That was the final straw. Bowser’s full rage was released. He roared as loud as he could and slammed his head into Mario, causing him to fall backwards. The horns on Bowser’s head made deep wounds in Mario’s sides.
Mario Gang: MARIO!
Bowser grabbed Mario and hoisted him into the air, nearly squeezing the life out of him.
Bowser: HOW DARE YOU!!! He’s not worthless to me! I care more about him than you ever could! He’s more than just a friend to me and my kids! Much more!
Mario: What… do you mean?
Bowser: I think he can tell you. Randy, now’s your chance! Show him who you are!
Bowser held Mario out towards Randy. Mario watched him reach into his pocket and pull out a wand. He and his friends were afraid at what that meant.
Daisy: He… has a wand?
Luigi: That could only mean…
Mario: No… It can’t be!
Randy: It is, Mario. I’m Bowser’s son. I don’t how I became a human but I’m his son nonetheless. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you but I was afraid you wouldn’t take it well. He wants me to help take over the Mushroom Kingdom.
Mario: So what? You don’t have to be evil just because he is! You are who you are and you’re not evil!
Randy: I want to believe that, Mario. I really do. But I don’t know who I am anymore. All I know about myself now is that I’m a Koopaling, and Koopalings are evil. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t become evil, but something tells me that I need to. Evil is in my blood and I can’t just ignore that. It’s what I was meant to be. I’m not very happy about it but it’s not something that can be helped in this situation. Even if it could, I wouldn’t want to go against my own father. So I’ve decided. I’m going to help him conquer the Mushroom Kingdom. And getting rid of you is at the top of the To Do list.
Randy put on an evil glare and aimed his wand directly at Mario. He began to draw energy from around him. The white crystal on his wand began to glow. The glow became brighter and brighter until it was almost blinding. Everyone knew a very powerful blast was charging up.
Bowser: Any last words, Mario?
Mario: Randy! Stop! This isn’t you! You’ve been brainwashed into thinking you’re something you’re not!
Randy: That’s not true. I’ve always been this way. I just never realized it until now.
Bowser: That’s my boy! Finish him!
Peach: Mario!
Yoshi: No Randy! Don’t do it!
Bowser: Yes, DO do it!
Randy’s evil glare turned into one of regret.
Randy: I’m… SORRY MARIO!
He turned away and shut his eyes. A few tears escaped them. He released his energy and the wand fired.
Epilogue
1 Year Later…
It was all over. The Mushroom Kingdom was no more. Nothing had remained the same. The entire town had been demolished and rebuilt like the cities in the Koopa Kingdom. Every plant was killed and volcanoes were created so their ash could block out the sun. BJ, Larry, Morton, Junior, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig patrolled the streets, delivering harsh punishments to any law breakers. Mushroom Castle had been renovated to have a similar appearance to Koopa Castle. All the residents were now servants of King Bowser and his assistant, Prince Randy. Bowser was so proud of Randy, he made him Prince of the second Koopa Kingdom. This should have been on of the happiest times of Randy’s life and in most ways, it was. However, there were a few things that still bugged him. He had killed his best friend and his other former friends wouldn’t so much as talk to him, even if he visited them in the dungeon. Most of the time, he’d just brush it off. He had better things to do than waste time with them. For he was an evil Prince and had a long, evil reign of terror to enjoy.
