The king let out a sigh, expelling the anger from his body as his expression softened somewhat. “Man. We really did a number on you didnt we huh” he said quietly The titanic turtle extended a single claw and touched it to kirby’s little nuby hand shaking the proffered hand. “Don’t worry little guy. Bowser's gonna fix this.” he assured Kirby before the star warrior slipped out of consciousness. Briefly startled by this the king was glad to see that kirby was continuing breath, giving a short sight of relief. Grunting to himself Bowser stood himself up from his seated position, dusted the back of his pants off and the carefully scooped up the wounded puffball in a single calw. Then he removed his hat, gently deposited the wounded hero inside its luxuriously soft padded interior and slung the improvised medical bed under his arm for safe keeping. “Thank You” the king muttered quietly to the medibot before he turned to find out what everyone was examining. This turned out to be yet more familiar sights for the king, as he was confronted by one of his favorite stomping grounds, Peach’s castle, surrounded by some out of place terrain. He was struck by a brief moment of nostalgia, his mind wandering back to memories of breaking into the poorly defended castle, more of a palace really, causing terrified toads to scatter in his wake as he stormed through the halls to find Princess Peach so he could whisk her away to his much better castle. This fond relocation was broken by concern about her wellbeing, and also anger about the fact that the glowball thing might have kidnap her. Only he got to do that and yet other villains were constantly trying to take her away from him, the wrenches! The king’s heart hardened once more as he gazed up at the sight of the enemy floating high above them and he swore to himself that when this was over he would personally crush the thing beneath his foot. Or eat it. It did look rather tasty. Like a massive gobstopper. Before his mind would wander back off track, this time to food, Genno suggested they head over to Peach's castle, before asking him if that was the right move. Bowser hadn't considered that, he had been much too distracted to do any planning, but this did not stop him from claiming that “Yes. That was exactly what I was thinking Geno! ” completely unaware that the doll was probably being playing his ego like a fiddle. “As were those guys apparently” the king added as the ragged looking hunter took off at a jog towards peach’s castle without a word, followed soon after by the centurion. As the king followed the path of the two human warriors he once again took in the patchwork landscape and the floating form of Galeem he started to piece together a somewhat inaccurate understanding of what was going on, one primarily based on their memory of the events of smash bros brawl and the repeated mentions of the others mentioning blasts of light. The king nodded to himself, a decision made, and then turned to address the remaining heros. “Alright you mooks listen up! I’m Bowser, the Koopa King, and you are all going to be working for me if you know what is good for you! That thing” Bowser pointed with his free had up to the angelic ball found in the sky “is the one responsible for transporting us all here and mind controlling us into attacking Kirby. Its beat some of the greatest Heros and Villains ever by staying way out of range like a cheap coward and blasting them. Then it went around blasted big chunks of all our worlds into subspace, taking you lot along with it, and cobbled them together into this mess while also probably taking over the minds of every fighter in them. I don't know why it’s done this, frankly I don't care, but I do know that if we beat the snot out of it then everything should go back to normal, just like it did last time. So if you all want to see your homes again your going to fight for me! We’re going to form the greatest army ever by doing whatever kirby did to us to anyone else we find and then we’ll get some awesome ships or something to take the fight up there too the stupid christmas ornament so we can punch it in the face. Got that? Good. Lets move out.” As if there was no room for discussion the turtle turned and began stomping off towards the castle, bringing the unconscious form of kirby with him in his under arm held hat. Of course, Bowser’s pace wasn't exactly a quick one, particularity considering he was trying to avoid jostling Kirby to much, and so he was unlikely to outrun any complaints that might be raised.
