[The feed begins in pitch blackness before a faint flame flickers on in the background, courtesy of one currently unseen Magmortar. The light shifts throughout the room, showcasing one snarling Swampert, two hissing Ninetales, and a buzzing Venomoth, whom some may find familiar. A Torterra stomps by with a roar and a cackle, slipping past those brainwashed 'mons. There's also a sleeping Salamence curled up in the corner, quite massive. Also likely familiar...

And the camera pans to Bowser with a helmet-wearing Wartortle perched on his shoulder.]

Gwa ha ha ha! I don't know about you chumps, but I had a great Valentine's Day! While you were off panicking in the streets, I got to watch the whole thing unfold. It made news broadcasts! I'd say that's one heck of an accomplishment in just a few short months.

[The Wartortle nods, rubbing his hands together.]

Gwaaarl. Gweheh!

Yeah, you said it, runt! Even that little test run's just a tiny sampling of what my Koopa Crew has to offer! But don't worry, you'll see what I mean soon enough...

[Once he, uh. Comes up with more concrete plans.]

by the way, i got details on that radio tower attack
i was there

didn't catch that many faces, but i did catch one. one who deserves to get smashed into the dirt
sasuke the cinnamon runt

ninja kid, dumb headband
the point is, he was there, and he wasn't alone. it's awfully fishy if ya ask me

[The connection is instantaneous.

And so is the ignition of a no-longer-literal fuse. Of course this big icky thorn in the side of the Mushroom Kingdom's setting out to make a mess wherever he can away from home, and of course while he had a head-start over anyone who'd bother dogging him he'd work on gathering creatures of mass destruction for that end! Calm and condescending veneer fire blanket is - partly go.]

Harrumph, a test run indeed!

Surely you can't honestly believe that you can rebuild your brutish "kingdom" from scratch here unstopped!

[Video]

[kingbowser]

Please, I know there'll be a bunch of goody two-shoes hero types at every turn, but that's not gonna stop me! None of 'em even compare to Mario's loser brother, much less Mario! And besides, my team's unstoppable!

[At that remark, the Wartortle nods, throwing his hammer into the air with a grin. Aw yeah, they're awesome.]

[She gulps, but faces her attacker.]

Mister Bowser... I don't think you're as bad as you try to be.

[kingbowser]

[...Oh. It's that pony girl.

Well then.]

What? You don't think I'm bad? But you're talking to the Mushroom Kingdom's A-list villain!

[3_butterflies]

I think... you have a good part in you that is trying to get out. You try to push it aside, but it's still there.

[Justine will be sure to let you know exactly what she thinks. Under the cover of anonymity, of course. Although maybe not completely anonymous, since there aren't that many anons running around the network and Bowser might remember the anon asking about sacrifice.]

Are you a complete idiot? If you were just making a fool of yourself, that wouldn't be my business, but you make a fool of us all when you announce your intentions in public like that.

keeping my awesome plots anonymous takes away the thrill in seeing their faces when they found out i did it

i plan on making my name feared throughout this world
people will cower at the mighty koopa king!

No one cowers before a brutish fool.

You've only proven that you have big animals that can break things for you. You have demonstrated neither cunning nor skill nor any other trait worth fearing. You will make our team the laughing stock of Johto.

...I should've guessed it was you. Either you or that Cobra guy. Seriously, when are you going to give it a rest?

Video

[kingbowser]

Evil never rests, pipsqueak! Especially when you're the biggest, baddest villain around.

Besides, I've got a reputation to uphold.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

NOT A PIPSQUEAK! [Sorry, that's a sore subject.]

Dude, Mario isn't even here. Or Princess Peach for that matter!

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

So you wreaked a city for attentio and the fact you probably didn't have a date or a girlfriend. You certainly did yourself no favors.

[Attacking on V-day seems a touch desperate in his eyes.]

[Video]

[kingbowser]

Grah! You're grasping at straws, ya runt. I wrecked the city as a show of my awesome power! And to let those brainwashed Pokémon I've stolen have a little fun.

It's got nothing to do with being single!

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

Really now, you just happen to pick Valentine's day to do it~ You're still proving my point about just wanting attention.

It's not even that big of an accomplishment to destroy the city.

[Now if someone destroyed the ice path that would be way more interesting.]

Sasuke? Who on earth is that?

[He was expecting someone from his list, not...whoever that is.]

[Private Text]

[kingbowser]

he's a stupid ninja kid with a tacky headband with a swirl on it

he blew up one of my impressively foreboding ships during that crazy weekend in november when I reigned supreme over goldenrod city! with fire and minions and my true form!

he's reckless and has serious anger issues, and he's the sorta pest you wanna stomp into the dirt before they start messing with all your brilliant plots!

[Private Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

A ninja? Are you certain?

[Video]

[begetsvengeance]

[Koopa Crew? Weren't those the enemies from the Mario series?

...eh, she'll ask about that later. Right now, she's got mocking to do.]

Quick question: do you try to act like Saturday morning cartoon villain or does it just come naturally to you?

[Video]

[kingbowser]

Cartoon? Cartoon?!

[His nostrils flare, and he grinds those pointy teeth of his.]

I'll have you know that I'm a real, grade-A evil machine! There's nobody in the whole Mushroom Kingdom who doesn't know of the great King Bowser. After all, my countless armies lay waste to their peaceful homes on a regular basis. Not to mention other kingdoms like Dinosaur Land.

[Video]

[begetsvengeance]

[Wait a second, did this guy just say what she thinks he just said?]

Bowser? You mean The Bowser? The giant dragon turtle whose ideal date involves kidnapping and evil laughter?

Finally, someone comes forth with a name! Consider it greatly appreciated; as a high-ranking member of this organization, I can assure you that your efforts will not go unrewarded.

To whom do I owe the favor?

[Private Text]

[kingbowser]

gwa ha ha! that'd be the almighty king bowser, ruler of the koopas!

also known as that brilliant bad guy who stole a ton of pokémon around christmas, sold poisoned cookies, and unleashed a horrible rampage throughout the city! and all without breaking a sweat

[explosivecombat]

[...we are one reply in and this looks like a mess of the hottest calibre

all aboard]

At least you take pride in your work, although I'm sure you've noticed that your title and status mean next to nothing here.

Regardless, I'm more than able to get behind those who take such initiative. I like to seek them out from time to time. Is there a reason you're being so...utterly helpful, in regards to our organization?

[Video, private Rocket thing, blahblah]

[eyes_are_uphere]

[Excuse you, Bowser. Excuse you, you did not just paint a target on one of her shinobi. Hopefully he doesn't mind the fact that Tsunade's sitting on a tree branch with her back against the trunk looking mightily pissed off.]

If you touch a single hair on that kid's head I will personally come out there and rip you apart limb from limb. Sasuke is not to be touched by the likes of you or anyone else, for that matter.

private and rockety forevarrrr

[kingbowser]

[At first, Bowser just stares. Yeah, he's... not really intimidated by this broad. Just a little bewildered.

And then a smirk makes its way across his scary mug, sharp teeth fully exposed. His Wartortle grins just as widely, pulling at the skin under his eyes.]

Lady, if you think that'll scare me, you really oughta work on your intimidation skills! Besides, I'd like to see you try and lay a beating on someone as huge, tough, and awesome as me.
