4th wall - video/action;

[kingbowser]

[Bowser's been biding his time, working on his secret base inside of the Cinnabar volcano. His 'Gear probably fell into the lava during that time, but it doesn't matter now. And why not?

Because he's got something bigger, badder, and all around awesome in his book.

So when the feed starts, viewers will get a taste of this fine specimen hovering in the sky. There's a battalion of doom ships trailing behind, and soon Bowser leaps into view, standing atop the face of his castle with a monstrous smirk.]



Bwa ha ha ha! Back to my awesome, old self, back with my castle, and back with my hordes of loyal minions! Could this day get any better?

[There's some shouting from off camera before some Koopa Troopas rush his way.]

The cannons are ready, your boastfulness! All Bullet and Banzai Bills are prepped for the attack.

Good! I've waited a long time for this...

[He chuckles, leaning closer to the camera.]

You hear that, you friendship-loving chumps? The Koopa King is back, and this time, we're gonna level more than just Goldenrod City!

[The video feed shakes and turns off.

People throughout both regions may find Bowser's castle and ships soaring by. Expect hordes of minions just like before, accompanied by lots of explosions and fire!

But will any bold heroes step forth to fight evil's might?]

Video - later on;

[Sometime later, another video flickers on, revealing Sasuke Uchiha tied up and dressed like Princess Peach. Bowser's laughter can be heard in the background.]

And check it out! I've already grabbed my first prisoner. Remember, using cheat codes never works. If you're gonna try to stop me, you have to do it the old fashioned way and deal with all the puzzles and traps in my castle.

But that's if you get there in the first place.

Action - Preface

[beforethedarkness]

[When he sees Bowser flying above the lake, Sasuke immediately flies into action. With the help of his Charizard, the two dodge the bullet and banzai bills before flying right up to the balcony of the top castle -- who has time to do all those castle puzzles?

Unfortunately, he doesn't get very far before two koopatrols and a hammer brother capture him, forcing him to use up all of his weapons and chakra in vain before he's dragged to Bowser on his knees.

It's all he can do to keep his sharingan up, panting and glaring at the monsterous koopa king before him. Damn it... He wasn't supposed to get captured this easily! Not when he was at his best...]

[kingbowser]

[...Well, this is a surprise. At first Bowser stares at Sasuke with a scowl before his lips quirk up and he bursts into laughter.]

Well, well, well! If it isn't the Cinnamon Runt. Tried to use cheat codes, huh?

[He stomps his feet, making the ground tremble.]

You minions really outdid yourselves this time! But you know, if he's gonna be my hostage, then he's gonna have to dress like one.

[beforethedarkness]

[That laugh causes his glare to worsen before he's dragged off, struggling with whatever strength he has left to try and break free. It's all in vain, and there is a lot of cursing and shouting in the background - along with dust clouds for struggling - before Sasuke appears in an all too iconic pink dress and crown set.

Not to mention tied up. It's so much easier to carry hostages tied up.]

You won't get away with this, Bowser!

[Sasuke is practically snarling as he squirms and struggles to get free, although damn the minions are good at tying the ropes tightly and securely. He doesn't have his weapons and pokemon anymore either... At least the minions are kind enough to set those aside for safe-keeping. But this is not how he had wanted the day to go! He wanted to take this guy once and for all, not end up like... THIS!]

[Action/Video]

[giant_talking_egg]

[Heroes? Pfft, who needs heroes when you got villains. Or more specifically, villains who also have airships. In this case, that particular airship will be non-other than the Egg Carrier, with the infamous Dr. Eggman piloting it.

If Bowser doesn't notice that massive eyesore taking up his airspace, then perhaps a video post will alert him to the good Doctor's presence.]

You there! [Someone's testy this morning.] This airspace is now property of the Eggman Empire; leave at once before I blast you out of the sky!

[Action/Video]

[kingbowser]

[Oh, what's this? Some balloon with a mustache? Bowser snickers, leaning back in his throne. Except it's actually Peach's throne, considering he's up in her castle right now.]

Please! I've got seniority on you, buster. This sky belongs to the Koopa Kingdom, and if anyone's gonna do the blasting around here, it's me!

[Action/Video]

[giant_talking_egg]

Feh! If you think I'm going to let some oafish turtle order me, the Great Doctor Eggman, around, then you've got another thing coming. Minions, man the battle stations!

Yes, doctor!

[Naturally, the robots scramble to their chairs and start furiously typing on their keyboards. Once finished, they give their master the signal.]

Now, fire the missiles! I'll make turtle soup out of this neanderthal!

[At his command, the silos for the missile open up. Merely seconds later, they fire at a breakneck speed straight for Bowser's main airship.]

[Video]

[caster_blaster]

I didn't know the pokemon could make their own messages on these things. So what are you, then? A Koopa? Where's your trainer? How can you talk like us?

[Video]

[kingbowser]

Me? A Pokémon? Don't make me laugh!

You're talking to the biggest of the baddies. I'm King Bowser, lord of the Koopas! And until recently, I was crammed into a stupid human form.

But not anymore.

[Cue more evil laughter, and here, he'll pull out a Pokéball to emphasize his awesome status. A Torterra bursts free from inside and bellows a roar.]

I'm the one who's the trainer around here!

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

...Ah. Well, good for you. I'm very proud of you. Unfortunately, I don't think that attitude will do you much good.

Action --> VIDEO --> ACTION!

[usedswift]

[That's what Bowser really looks like?! He looks like a... turtle. With sharp teeth. Try as she might, she can't really be all that intimidated until --]

Sasuke!

[If even Sasuke could get captured... Well, she's been training for this. As soon as the castle swoops by overhead, Tenten takes cover, calling the others. But she isn't going to wait for them to get there, that could take hours. Time to slow him down and show exactly what she's been training for since March. First thing she'd done since getting her abilities back had been to seal her Pokéballs within her scrolls. As soon as her main team is out, there's some milling about before she's barking orders.]

VIDEO
[And suddenly all that can be seen from Tenten's 'gear are thirty-five Pokémon charging forward in concerted squads, all perfectly willing to attack people, Koopas, Bullet Bills, and anything else that gets in their way.]

This is what happens when you mess with Konoha.

[That's Tenten's voice, and then the video shuts off.]

ACTION
[And then she's on the back of her thirty-sixth Pokémon, her starter Skarmory Feng, using him to Fly up and latch onto the bottom of the floating platform. Sneak in from the bottom? You bet she will. As soon as she's there, she sends Feng to rejoin the battle, with orders to withdraw until they saw her comrades arrive. She has another full team's worth of Pokémon on her belt; they're her lower-leveled ones, but the point is to sneak in, not fight, until she's close enough to take on Bowser herself. Or at least get in a position to wait for her comrades.]

[CONTINUE Y/N?]

[kingbowser]

[Well, if she slips through the door, she'll find a long, narrow hall packed with what appear to be turtles in suits of armor. They don't appear to have noticed her yet. Some even appear to be chatting to one another.]

So, what do you think of the boss' new recruits?

You mean those Poking guys? I dunno. There's something about 'em that rubs me the wrong way...

[Tread carefully, though. These guys are kind of annoying in battle.]

[usedswift]

[First opponents, huh? She doesn't know anything about these guys, but she doesn't want to use up her most powerful moves and Chakra right in the beginning.

Tenten slides against the closest wall, keeping a careful eye out for traps. There are a lot of them, though, and she draws back out of sight to instead draw a Pokéball and summon Chouyaku the Skiploom. A few hand signals, and the little green Pokémon goes around the corner with a cheerful trill.

And then Sleep Powder coats the entire area.]

[jikogisei]

[Yeah, someone's big brother is on the way and not happy. Not that you can tell by the look on his face.]

I suggest you release him.

[kingbowser]

Bwa ha ha ha! Why would I listen to a shrimp like you? You don't even wear overalls!

[video]

[brokenmemories]

[As much Misaki still wanted to beat Bowser's face in, she wasn't willing to go through ALL that trouble Bowser put up just to reach him.]

[When Misaki goes on camera, Boswer may notice she's wearing a very familiar outfit and not speaking English.]

あなたは最終的にサスケさんを捕まえ...そしてあなたが最初に行うことは、ドレスに彼を置くか？[You finally caught Sasuke-san...and the first thing you do is put him in a dress?]

[video]

[kingbowser]

[...What... Why is this chick dressed like Green 'Stache?]

Don't know what you're saying, lady, but if you're gonna pretend to be Green 'Stache, you kind of need a mustache.

[video.]

[gunkonmyboot]

[Oh wow... what did he just turned on his device to see? A punk kid in pink. 17 is no fashion designer but come on... So responding poker face style.]

Who would of thought giant turtles gets turned on dressing little boys in dresses. What a pedophile.

Good job getting yourself caught by the way. [Getting caught by a giant turtle, really.]

[video.]

[kingbowser]

[Face? Meet palm.]

It's called humiliation. That kid's hideous! And I'm from an E-Rated game, anyway.

Video

[hesaphantom]

[Danny does not approve of putting guys in dresses. It's happened to him two times too many.]

Are you freakin' serious? Hey, Sasuke, if you can hear me, hang tight a sec, I'll be right there.

Video - Whoops

[beforethedarkness]

I don't need a rescue. I can get out myself.

[Growling low but... Well, he's pretty red-faced too. Damn it all.]

video;

[nassy]

[. . . . .]
...Bowser.
[Nastasia has been having to brainwash minions all day, because of you.]
Um, yeah... I should have expected this from you.

video;

[kingbowser]

Oh, it's you again. That square-ish lady that tried controlling my minions.

[Grrr. How aggravating!]

Don't you ever know when to call it quits? You're throwing a wrench into my evil operation.

[Video]

[allgamesendtoday]

[Hi Bowser, here's a slightly different Cobra than the one hanging around Johto.

Who's not aware that this is actual footage.]

What? Why is thisss here? Who programmed this nonsense into my device?

[And then off camera.]

Alley Viper! Explain thi-

[Oh wait, he's not here.]

Someone better have a good explanation for this!

[Video]

[kingbowser]

Who said anything about programming, bub? I'm as real as it gets!

[Proof: That turtle thing is still talking to you.]

Action

[aflashoffaith]

[Minato's plan of attack was simple: he was going to make a huge-ass spectacle of himself and hopefully draw the most attention, wanting to create openings for the others to go through and reach the castle quietly, reach Sasuke.

So when he arrived it was with an enormous cloud of smoke and the earth shaking stomps of Gamabunta, one of, if not the, largest toad summons.

When the smoke cleared he could be seen standing atop the large toad's head, his entire body - clothes, hair, skin - glowing brightly, almost like he was on fire, chakra flickering and curling in the air around him.

It was completely and utterly unnecessary, overkill even, but Minato wasn't looking to be just a yellow flash confusing and taking out his enemies silently. He trusted the kids to do what they had to do, and now he could have a little fun himself- creating a commotion and being an annoyance, forked kunai in hand.

Engage?]

[[ooc: any other shinobi around feel free to assume Minato handed off one of his marked kunai to you, or at the very least patted your shoulder and left a seal behind. Don't have to use it (or at least, to summon him, stab something with it by all means) but he'd probably toss them out before becoming a shiny target.

He won't be going into the castle unless someone really wants a dramatic rescue haha just blitzing around the area taking out whoever/whatever he can! The only Pokemon with him is Hachi.]]
