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 --> 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.]

[kingbowser]

[The Koopatrols don't even expect it and, as a result, they topple over almost instantly. She should have a brief amount of time to slip through undetected. Well played!]

[usedswift]

[Holding her breath even as the powder dissipates, she darts forward and snatches up the Skiploom back into his ball as she passes. She could just execute them all, but she's not that cruel.

Once she passes, she sticks to the wall again, ready to dodge anything coming her way.]

[kingbowser]

[Liiike flying hammers? It would seem that some of the Hammer Bros. are a bit more alert. Or maybe they just like throwing their weapons for the heck of it.

Best of luck, Tenten!]

[usedswift]

[Hammers she wasn't expecting. They look ridiculous! This time, her first instinct isn't her Pokémon, it's her kunai. These guys have no problem using weapons, so she has no problem hurling kunai to both intercept the flying hammers and try to take out as many of the weird little turtles as she can.

Not risking those shells blocking her knives, she's aiming for the throat. Sorry, Bros.]

[kingbowser]

[Yikes! This wasn't part of the agreement when they became Koopa soldiers.

So, yeah, they're just gonna duck into their shells now and try tripping her. Mario logic at its finest.]

[usedswift]

What the--?!

[Seriously, what the hell?? She just leaps up and flips, attaching herself to the ceiling by her feet and sprinting forward -- but not without reaching behind her into her kunai pouch to toss down a few glass bottles if slick oil. Try tripping anyone in that!]
