kingbowser | 03 - video/action for Goldenrod;

[A message pops up on the gears reading...]

ARCHIVED FOOTAGE DATED: 11/24/12...

[The footage begins with static before flashing to a shot of Goldenrod burning. Some crackling sounds-- loud ones, at that, blare from the speakers. They almost sound like explosions. Cut to more static.

When the image clears, there's a shot of Goldenrod Gym reduced to rubble, and the following figure turns his head to the camera...]

[There's a magic wand gripped in his hand. He grins and cackles before the image cuts out again. A distorted audio track continues to play over the static...]

...re... do it... roof...

...can see...

... ... new ruler!

[The audio breaks into a sharp hiss, and the archived video ends.

With that, the feed shifts to Bowser, back in his human form and looking none too pleased about it.]

That weekend wasn't a dream! I might not remember everything that happened, but I know I nearly leveled this stinking city! And there's some punk I need to cream for blowing up one of my clown cars!

But you're in luck. The video I've managed to save is proof of my awesome appearance, preserved for all time! That is what I mean when I say koopa, and don't you forget it!

Now, I will find a way to change back again, and when I do, you'll all bow before your supreme ruler!

[With that, he clicks the video off.

For the rest of the day, Bowser can be found herding around various Pokémon, training them up, and wandering around the Rocket Base. The whole time, he'll be scowling at anyone and anything that crosses his path. How dare this place undo the amazing work he did?! And his castle, too!]

[ooc: I got mod approval for the video footage. Also, I'll continue to backtag Bowser's previous posts. Just wanted to get this outta the way!]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Pretty sure this is as wimpy as I'm going to get.

Did you have any special powers to go along with your title?

You don't have to try and convince me. After all, we're on the sssame side, and I won't tell anyone. What is it? A painted Blasssstoise? I must admit that the resemblance is uncanny. It must have taken quite a bit of work to make matching features.

[If only Cobra actually remembered their conversation more than recalling that he discussed something with Bowser over the weekend.]

Did someone in the lab help you with it?

It's not a painted anything! It's me in my awesome, completely nonhuman glory.

Is that really so hard to believe?

Bwa ha ha ha! That's like asking if a Paratroopa can fly!

Besides my devastating strength, I can breathe fire, cast terrible black magic, and deliver a poisonous bite! Plus, my Star Rod gives me the power of invincibility!

[Like Misaki knows what a paratroopa looks like, but she just agrees and nods.]

Wow, you sound terrifying. [Was that subtle sarcasm?] You must be terribly feared back home.

That's right, lady! All fear the wrath of the great Koopa King and my legions of loyal underlings!

[GWA HA HA! Yeah, he's just. Enjoying this bragging opportunity far too much, yup.]

Because he's determined to make the lives of every Koopa miserable. Driven to lap up as much attention as possible while masquerading as a so-called "hero"!

But don't be fooled. Beneath his mustached exterior lies a heart darker than the deepest manhole.

Well, if you're smart, you'll keep away from that little punk! I've got plans for that pipsqueak, and anyone who gets in my way is gonna pay!

You poor dear... I can't imagine having to deal with someone so dreadful...

[what have I done.]

[Time to make an attempt at having fun with the guy.]

All? Surely there's not one person who dare defies you?

Consssidering that everyone is human here, regardless of what they were before.

[Which considering Cobra's life, he's pretty grateful for that.]

And that I don't recall anyone ever changing back....yessss, it is rather hard to believe.

Edited 2012-12-02 05:27 (UTC)

Grah! It wasn't just me. Some troll kid and a couple of ponies changed back, too.

There's gotta be a reason for it!

[Cobra doesn't know about trolls, and hasn't spoke to a pony in a very long time, but still...]

Wait, they're actually ponies? I thought they were delusional!

Edited 2012-12-02 05:42 (UTC)

Yes, they're ponies. One of 'em had these tiny little wings and... there was something about cake! I know that much.

[Thankfully the bit about a tea party with his minions has escaped him.]

Well that's 'cause you're related. It makes sense for you to look alike.

My boy junior's the spitting image of me when I was his age!

And I've had to deal with it for years! All the irritating defeats, plans foiled, dreams crushed!

But I showed him. All it took was a little wish granting to put him in his place.

[...Darn it.]

Well, there's that pest of a plumber Mario and his lame brother, but I've already trounced him.

Oh, you have a son? [ Do koopas use the human lingo for relations? ]

Muahaha... I sure do! And he's one heck of an heir, if I say so myself.

[There's also the Koopalings, but apparently they're not actually Bowser's kids. Darn it, Miyamoto.]

Perhaps I'll get to meet him someday!

[ Darn it indeed! ]

The experience of having a son must be useful in raising pokebeasts!

I'd almost be willing to believe that was actually you in the video over talking winged ponies.

[Behold Cobra Commander's ridiculous standards.]

Edited 2012-12-02 06:00 (UTC)

Is it really that strange compared to Pokémon? For crying out loud, there's a slug made outta magma!

Eh, it's not that different from training my troops. That's how I'm approaching it, anyway.

{OOC: Buzz Dixon talks about it here.}

The sssslugs don't talk to people!

Look, my world has talking mushroom people. Talking ponies are tame compared to what I work with on a daily basis.

Besides, those Psychic types sorta talk.

[video] He'd probably be more inclined to believe this if Sunbow hadn't scrapped the MLP crossover

[video] ...that would have been awesome.
