Chapter 6 - Episode 6: Koopa Road
(The episode begins above the woods as rumblings are heard from within. The camera zooms into the treeline to find a small colony of Patapons (Patapon) moving about. We cut to a couple of them egging on a Machop (Pokemon) as it lifts two of them up on each arm. We cut again to another group of Patapons that are feeding Pura (Crash Bandicoot) various fruits. We cut to the middle of the village to see Uberhero surveying the place. A Patapon walks up to him.)
Patapon: This will be New Patapolis until we return!
Uberhero: Keep a look out for Patapons that we lost. (The Patapon nods and leaves. We suddenly hear rustling in the woods. The Patapons and Uberhero turn towards it.)
Uberhero: Hello?
Patapon: Is anybody there? (Suddenly a large group of Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Bros, and Spikes leap out from the brush. We see the Goombas and Koopas attack small groups of Patapons as the Spikes throw their spike balls at some in the background. A Hammer Bro attempts to hit Uberhero with his hammer, but he blocks it with his shield and slashes at it with his sword. Then, a Koopa comes up behind him but he hits it away.)
Uberhero: What do you want? (Kamek flies behind Uberhero with his broomstick.)
Kamek: Well, looks like we've got a fighter.
Uberhero: I won't let you tear my tribe apart. (The Uberhero jumps up and lunges at Kamek, but he stops him in midair with his magic.)
Kamek: Sorry, but Lord Bowser requires an army. (Kamek waves his wand and Uberhero is flung far into the woods. The camera stays on him as he hits a tree and is knocked unconscious. The screen goes black. It cuts to several hours later as Uberhero wakes up.)
Uberhero: Hello? Patapons? (Uberhero gets up and sprints away. We cut to him arriving back to where the village was, now abandoned.) No... everyone is gone. (Uberhero somberly walks away.)
(We cut to the dungeon of a castle. Multiple Patapons are stored in several cells. The camera moves through the halls until it focuses on the cell of one person, Princess Peach. She's sitting on her bed staring off into space. We hear loud footsteps come towards her.)
???: Still pouting I see? (Peach looks up to see Bowser and Bowser Jr. outside her cell.)
Peach: What do you want, Bowser?
Bowser: Just came to see how my favorite prisoner is doing.
Peach: You need to stop, Bowser. Master Mind is not here to help you. You should know this. You were alive when he first attacked.
Bowser: This is different, princess. Master Mind owes me for freeing him. Together, we will rule this puny new world.
Peach: Do you really think it'll work out like that? He'll push you out of the picture as soon as he gets the chance.
Bowser Jr.: Is this true, Papa?
Bowser: The princess has no idea what she's talking about, junior.
Peach: Think about your people, Bowser. Think about the people of both of these worlds.
Bowser: You can either join me in ruling this world as my queen or rot in this cell. It's your choice.
Peach: I've made up my mind. Mario is probably already on his way to stop that monster.
Bowser: Heh, he wishes. (Bowser and Bowser Jr. walk away. Peach looks wearily out the window.)
Patapon 1: Are you really a princess? (Peach looks up, startled. The Patapons in the cell directly across from her look at her in wonder.)
Peach: Yes, I'm the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Patapon 1: Wow!
Patapon 2: Really?
Patapon 3: What're you doing here?
Peach: (Goes to the bars.) I was captured. Bowser's holding me here so I don't interfere.
Patapon 2: Can you save us?
Peach: I would, I really would, but I'm stuck in this cell.
Patapon 3: Leave that to us, princess. (All the Patapons begin speaking at once.)
Patapons: Pata Pata Pata Pon! Pata Pata Pata Pon! (They continue to chant until a Chargin' Chuck (Super Mario) runs over to lecture them.)
Chuck: Quiet down in there, will ya!
Patapon 3: Now! (The Patapons equip a steel horn and blow a long note on it. The Chargin' Chuck is pushed back, and his helmetbangs against the lock on Peach's cell. The lock breaks off and Peach exits. An aura glows around Peach and she uses Sleepy Time to put the Chargin' Chuck to sleep.)
Peach: I'll let you guys out now.
Patapon 1: There's too many of us. We'll be caught for sure.
Patapon 2: FInd our hero and return here with him. He'll put a stop to that beast.
Peach: Okay, I'll be back soon. (Peach runs off. We cut to her looking around a corner to see a Koopa and a Spike walking down the hallway.) Oh no... (The camera pans to see a window on the hallway corner. Once the Koopa and Spike are about to turn the corner, Peach pops out and hit the Koopa with a frying pan. The Spike spits out a spikeball, but Peach knocks it out with her frying pan too.) I got it! (Peach pulls out a gold club and hit the spikeball with the club. It arcs through the air and crashes through the window. Peach then jumps out and floats down with her parasol.) Okay, let's find this hero. (Peach runs off. We cut to one of the castle towers as a Sumo Bro (Super Mario) sees her run off.)
(We cut to Pac-Man's group walking through the forest. Pac-Man is leading the way.)
Coach: I think we lost our lead.
Dan: (Mumbles in agreement.)
Pac-Man: I think we've still got the right idea. (They continue on, but hear loud grunts in the distance.)
Telly: What was that?!
Villager: Are we in trouble?
Coach: Be careful now. There could be trouble. (Our heroes continue onwards. They exit the woods to see a field with a large castle in the center. Right outside the forest area, Kamek is seen floating on her broomstick. The bodies of Frog (Chrono) and Rudy (Wild Arms) lay motionless on the ground.)
Frog: You... fiend...
Kamek: Is that all you got? (He laughs evilly.)
Coach: Hey, ugly! (Kamek looks around, surprised. We cut to Coach shooting his shotgun at Kamek. It grazes his arm.)
Kamek: Urgh! You'll pay for that! (Kamek uses his magic to pick up Coach.)
Coach: Woah! (He throws Coach into Villager and they both topple over.) D*mn. (We cut to Luigi's group which is also moving through the forest. They hear the screams of Coach.)
Chris: Looks like we've got trouble.
Dante: Sounds more like a party to me. (Our heroes run out of the forest and soon Kamek is in their sights. We see Kamek fire a magical blast at Sir Daniel who is thrown to the ground.)
Luigi: That's-a Kamek! He's Bowser's cronie!
Cloud: Who?
Luigi: We need-a to put a stop to him! (Luigi runs towards the battle. The others quickly follow. We cut to Kamek holding Chibi-Robo while Telly sporadically hovers around.)
Telly: Hey! Put him down! (Kamek laughs. Behind Kamek, Cloud leaps into the air and hits Kamek off of his broomstick with his Buster Sword. Kamek drops Chibi-Robo and we see Pac-Man leap to catch him. We cut to Kamek landing on the ground.)
Kamek: Pesky swordsman. I'll show you. (Kamek shoots magic out of his wand. We see Arthur and Dante running towards Kamek. Arthur shields the magic attack with his shield while Dante keeps running.)
Arthur: Nice try. (Dante runs up to Kamek and slashes him into the air with his sword. He then jumps up and slams Kamek back down with his sword. Kamek tries to get up, but Dante puts his sword to his throat.)
Dante: This guy's nothing. (Luigi walks up to Dante.)
Kamek: Luigi! I thought you would've been snuffed out by now.
Luigi: Is Bowser here?
Kamek: Of course, but he's not the only one. His new queen is in there with him.
Luigi: You don't-a mean...
Kamek: Princess Peach. (Kamek laughs before disappearing into smoke. Coach and Pac-Man walk up behind Luigi and Dante.)
Coach: Who the hell are you guys supposed to be?
Dante: We're looking for this guy named Master Mind.
Luigi: He's responsible for what's going on here.
Frog: You can't... stop them... (Our heroes look behind them to see Chris tending to Frog.)
Chris: Save your strength. We'll get help.
Frog: No... it's the end for me... the fiends in that castle are unstoppable...
Cloud: What happened?
Frog: We followed that wizard here. We entered the castle... we saw a shadow man and a giant beast.
Luigi: (Knowingly.) Master Mind and Bowser...
Frog: We were chased out... and the wizard dealt the final blow.
Pac-Man: We'll figure out what's going on here.
Dan: (Mumbles while nodding.)
Frog: Thank... you... (Frog takes his final breath.)
Villager: Are we working together now?
Luigi: (Nods.) I know all about Bowser and his minions.
Arthur: Do not forget about that dark demon, Master Mind.
Chris: It'll take everything we've got to beat them.
Coach: Then we'll give them everything we've got. No holding back.
Dante: Couldn't have said it better myself.
Pac-Man: (To Luigi.) Lead the way, green man.
Luigi: Okie dokie. (Luigi leads our heroes towards the castle.)
(We cut to Bowser and Bowser Jr. at the top of the castle as Kamek appears in front of them.)
Kamek: Lord Bowser, we have a problem!
Bowser: Quiet, Kamek! Can't you see I'm busy.
???: Now, now Bowser. (Kamek turns to see Master Mind floating on the roof behind him.) Let him speak. (Kamek gulps.)
(We cut to Marth's group trudging through the forest.)
Crono: Should we rest for the night?
Ezio: Let's try to find a flatter area first. We haven't had the best luck in the forest. (We suddenly hear leaves crunching nearby. Marth, Prince, Ezio, and Crono all stance up.)
Prince: What was that?
Marth: (Loudly.) Who goes there! (The camera zooms into where the noise is coming from. It rustles a bit more until Peach comes out from the brush.)
Peach: Oh, hi! (The swordsmen keep their guard up.)
Ezio: Who are you?
Peach: I am Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Crono: Mushroom... Kingdom? (Ori walks up and inspects Peach.)
Peach: Hello there. (To the others.) I'm looking for the hero of a tribe of little one-eyed creatures. Have you seen anyone who fits the bill?
Prince: I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. (A loud groan is heard from the forest.)
Crono: Why are you here?
Peach: I was kidnapped and held prisoner in a castle near here. I must return there and free the poor innocents Bowser has taken.
Marth: Bowser!?
Peach: You've heard of him?
Ezio: The b*stard attacked us.
Prince: We'll help you take him down.
???: You won't be doing any of that. (Our heroes turn to see the Sumo Bro from before, now flanked by two Hammer Bros.) You're coming with us.
Ezio: Back away from the lady.
Crono: Or we'll put you in a world of pain.
Sumo Bro: I'd like to see you try. (The Sumo Bro stomps and sends a current of electricity at our heroes. Peach grabs Ori and moves them both out of the way. Everyone else jumps out of the way besides Prince, who's hit by the shock. He's electrified and falls to his knees. Crono runs up to a Hammer Bro and their weapons clash. Ezio tries to run behind it but is struck by a flying hammer from the other Hammer Bro.)
Ezio: Dai! (A Hammer Bro tries to throw a hammer at Ori, but Peach jumps in the way and blocks it with her parasol.)
Peach: Don't worry. I'll protect you. (Ori jumps up and fires a fireball at the Hammer Bro. It falls over, defeated.) Oh, you remind me of someone I'm very close to. (We cut to Marth running up to the Sumo Bro. He slashes at the shell, which knocks him back slightly. The Sumo Bro stomps again and shocks Marth with electricity.)
Sumo Bro: Swords aren't great with shells. Heh. (We cut to the other Hammer Bro laughing along before Uberhero bursts from the woods and slashes at him with his sword. The size of it knocks the Hammer Bro down, unconscious.)
Uberhero: I won't let you turtles hurt anyone else! (Uberhero lunges forward and slashes at the Sumo Bro's head. The force knocks him far into the woods.) That should do it. (We cut to Peach helping Prince up.)
Peach: (To Uberhero.) You...
Uberhero: (Pointing to himself.) Me?
Peach: You're the hero those one-eyed creatures were talking about.
Uberhero: You know where my fellow Patapons are?!
Peach: Yes, they're being locked up by a brute named Bowser.
Uberhero: Show me where they are!
Crono: We're coming too.
Marth: We need to put a stop to this.
Peach: (Smiling.) Quickly, follow me. (Peach leads them through the forest.)
(We cut to Peach's group reaching the large field where the castle is.)
Ezio: This must be it. (The camera pans to see Luigi's group running through the main entrance of the castle.)
Peach: That's Luigi!
Uberhero: Is he a minion of the one you call Bowser?
Peach: No, he's a friend. We need to catch up with him. (Peach's group hurries after Luigi's.)
(We cut to Luigi's group inside the castle.)
Luigi: This is-a it. Once we beat Bowser and Master Mind, we should all be able to go home.
Arthur: It was an honor fighting alongside you all.
Villager: I'll finally be able to see everyone again. (Villager looks up and smiles.)
Peach: Luigi!
Luigi: Huh? (Luigi turns to see Peach's group running towards him.) Princess! (The two run up to each other.)
Luigi/Peach: Where's Mario!
Luigi: What? I thought he went to see you.
Peach: He did, but Master Mind was released. He-
Luigi: Yeah! He attacked us. (Peach looks at the group behind Luigi.)
Peach: I see you've found some friends.
Dante: We're more like fighting buddies.
Coach: This bullsh*t has gone on for too long. We need to kill this Master Mind guy now.
Uberhero: And find the Patapons.
Peach: It's strange.
Marth: What is?
Peach: All of Bowser's guards are gone.
Luigi: Yeah, usually there's tons of baddies around here. (Suddenly, a line of torches on a stairwell all light up in sequence going up.)
Cloud: I think they know.
Crono: Prepare for a fight.
Pac-Man: Let's get this guy! (Our heroes begin their ascent. We cut to Bowser talking to Bowser Jr. in his Koopa Clown Car. A small airship is docked on the roof.)
Bowser Jr.: Do I have to go, papa?
Bowser: Yes, Junior. Go to the ship we told you about. (Bowser Jr. nods and lingers a bit.)
Bowser Jr.: Bye, papa. I love you. (He takes off.)
Bowser: I love you too, son. (Master Mind walks up behind him.)
Master Mind: They're approaching.
Bowser: Then let's make this quick. (We cut to our heroes reaching the top of the castle. They fan out a bit so they all see Bowser and Master Mind.)
Luigi: Bowser...
Bowser: Luigi, hard to believe you're alive after all this time.
Peach: Bowser, stop this. Master Mind is using you.
Master Mind: Bowser freed me. Together, he and I will rule this world.
Bowser: You had the choice to rule with me, princess. If you won't, I'll have to kill you. I'll kill you all.
Dante: I'd like to see you try. Who's ready for a show?
Uberhero: You kidnapped my tribe!
Marth: You attacked us in the forest!
Chris: (To Master Mind.) You take over minds!
Pac-Man: You're the reason we're stuck here!
Master Mind: And I'll be the reason you perish! (Master Mind begins fusing with Bowser as they jump off the roof. This time he becomes enormous, mimicking his appearance in Bowser's Fury. He is now Dark Fury Bowser and is larger than the castle itself.)
Dark Fury Bowser: You really think you can stop me! I'm power itself! (He slashes at the castle roof, knocking down everybody except Pac-Man, Chibi-Robo, Ori, and Uberhero, who all duck. Chibi-Robo runs up and fires his Chibi-Blaster at the beast. Pac-Man also runs up and hurls a pac-dot. These do practically nothing.) That's nothing. (He breathes a giant fireball at our heroes. It's about to hit Pac-Man and Chibi-Robo when Uberhero blocks it with his shield. The fireball is hurled away.)
Uberhero: Stop this madness! (We cut to the other heroes getting up. Suddenly, Villager floats into the air and is hurled down. Kamek flies over on her broomstick.)
Kamek: Remember me? (Kamek shoots magic at Luigi and knocks him down.)
Luigi: Mama mia... (Villager runs up and tries to hit Kamek with his axe. He disappears as he swings and reappears behind him. Kamek hits him on the head with his wand. Ezio runs up and swings four times with his saber. Kamek floats back to avoid each swing.)
Ezio: Your black magic makes up for your lack of strength.
Kamek: Says the one losing. (Kamek picks Ezio up with his magic and flings him away. We cut to Coach and Dante shooting at Dark Fury Bowser.)
Coach: How'd ya like me now, hmph!
Dante: Time to rock! (Dark Fury Bowser blows a plume of fire out of his mouth. Dante grabs Coach and jumps above it.)
Coach: Thanks.
Dante: Don't thank me yet. (We cut to Marth and Cloud charging towards Kamek. They both swing on him, but he disappears. He reappears and hits Cloud with magic. Marth lands a swing, but Kamek hits him away with his wand. We cut to Uberhero, Crono, and Chibi-Robo.)
Crono: What're we gonna do?
Uberhero: We need my troops.
Telly: Troops?
Uberhero: We need to free them or we stand no chance. Come with me. (The three of them leave.)
(We go back to the cells the Patapons are trapped in. Uberhero, Crono, and Chibi-Robo enter.)
Patapon 1: It's the hero!
Patapon 2: Hero!
Patapon 3: He's here!
Uberhero: (To Crono and Chibi-Robo.) Open the cells and direct them out of here. They'll take on the king from below. (We cut to Chibi-Robo picking locks with his Chibi-Tool. We then see Crono electrifying his sword and slashing locks away. We cut to Uberhero guiding them out of the castle. We cut back to the top of the castle as Chris shoots at Dark Fury Bowser and Ori shoots fireballs. Dark Fury Bowser slaps them away.)
Dark Fury Bowser: Don't you get it? I am unstoppable. (Suddenly, the chanting of Pata Pata Pon starts up. It's soft at first but grows louder.) What? (An army of Patapons surrounds Bowser and throws spears and shoots arrows.) Really? You think that will work? (The beast shoots another plume of fire, but Patapons with shields protect the others. Dark Fury Bowser begins to get hurt.) Urgh! (We cut to Dan and Peach as he shields her from Kamek's magic.)
Dan: (Mumbles heroically. Peach runs past Dan and hits Kamek with her parasol. Kamek flies back before charging forward and knocks Peach into Dan.)
Kamek: Nice try, princess. (The Prince comes up from behind and slashes Kamek's back. Kamek fires magic at the Prince and hits him back. Suddenly, time is reversed, and the magic goes back. The Prince then ducks under the magic that would've hit him and slashes Kamek again.) What?!
Prince: I know magic too. (Kamek teleports behind Prince and hits him with his wand. Time is reversed again and the Prince dodges the attack and stabs Kamek in the neck.)
Kamek: Lord... Bowser... (Kamek drops his wand and it shoots magic sporadically. We see it shoot a few bricks which turn into a fire flower, a goomba, and a mega mushroom. We see that it gets the attention of Pac-Man as Uberhero, Crono, and Chibi-Robo return.)
Unerhero: It's working. The Patapons are vanquishing the beast.
Crono: But how long will they last? (We cut to Pac-Man running up to the mega mushroom.)
Pac-Man: Welp, might as well dig in. (Pac-Man eats the mega mushroom. We cut to Chris, Coach, and Marth as Pac-Man shadow looms above them. We cut to see a giant Pac-Man on the roof of the castle.)
Dark Fury Bowser: What is this?
Pac-Man: You might call it a battle. But I... (Pac-Man pulls out a Super Pellet.) Call it dinner. (Pac-Man eats the Super Pellet. He becomes even bigger and resembles his classic look from Pac-Man. He starts chomping towards Dark Fury Bowser.)
Dark Fury Bowser: Nooooooo! (Pac-Man bites down on the beast and a purple flash blinds the area. When we can see again, Pac-Man is normal again and back on the roof. Bowser is nearly passed out on the roof, and Master Mind floats above him.)
Bowser: They're almost done for. I just need more power.
Master Mind: More power? I gave you power, you arrogant king. All you want is to show off to this princess and prove you're better than this Mario. This is just a game to you.
Bowser: No... that isn't true.
Master Mind: You're nothing more than a burden to me.
Bowser: But I freed you...
Master Mind: And while I'm grateful for that, it's time I let you go. (Master Mind shoots a bolt of lightning out of his hand at Bowser. He screams violently before it suddenly stops. To our heroes.) If you're smart, you won't follow the other ships. (Master Mind creates a portal and floats through.)
Peach: Bowser...
Luigi: Oh no...
Marth: He was mad with power.
Ezio: But this... Master Mind, you say? He's still out there. (Suddenly, a fleet of Koopa airships begin taking flight around the castle area and start flying in one direction.)
Cloud: Those are the ships he was talking about.
Villager: They'll lead us to him, right?
Peach: We need to stop this once and for all. (Peach gets onto the airship on the roof.) It's the only way.
Coach: It's the only way to go home.
Dan: (Mumbles.)
Luigi: And if we die? Like Bowser?
Pac-Man: We won't. (Pac-Man jumps onto the airship.)
Uberhero: It's the only way.
Dante: What the hell. I say we do this. (We cut to the airship flying through the air as multiple airships fly in the background in the same direction.)
