The trip to the bubble managed to be considerably more stressful than the one the team had partaken in last night to the Brachydios fight. There were swarms of keese again, which were proving themselves to be the Land of Adventure’s local flavor of Goddamned Bats, but the number of other foes also deciding to take pot shots at the party made Bowser regret not riding in the Brother Grimm with the others.

[color=FD0000]”GRAHHHHHHHH! GET OF THE ROAD!”[/color] Bowser roared as he swerved wildly to avoid a rhino beetle as it attempted to take the Bowser Mobile to pieces. After passing the oversized bug he turned his head and spat a fireball at it’s exposed rear in revenge, inadvertently clearing the road for the Brother Grimm he was riding ahead of to avoid the dust storm the titanic machine kicked up.

Above Kamek and his red clones (three out of four of them now) fired spells and fireballs down at the attackers while darting to and fro to avoid retaliation. The fourth remained green and, after stabbing the scarecrow into the roof of the Brother Grimm to bobble about in the wind and scare the nonexistent crow foes, was swooping around casting its defense buffs to keep the massive monster truck from suffering too bad of a beating.

Finally Jr’s clown car flew too and fro, plowing into the ranged attackers, it’s boxing glove armed robo-arms pummeling bullet kin and mactera with a flurry of blows wherever they tried to take shots at the Brother Grimm.

Both Kamek and Jr grabbed spirits when they could, stashing them in glass bottles taken from Bowser during the lulls between fights, and between them they acquired a nice stash of spirits before they reached the jump. Unlike peach they had zero hesitation in heading across, the Bowser Mobile actively jumping the gap rather than simply ramping it while jr and Kamek simply flew across the pit without incident. As a result Bowser missed himself getting volunteered for car transportation duty and had to rapidly roll his car out of the way of the massive monster truck’s landing zone to avoid being crushed by its thunderous landing.

The titanic impact of the monster truck as it landed seemed to draw the ire of the spheres defenders, who bubbled up into being right before the Squad’s very eyes. Anticipating a fight, Bowser jumped out of his car as his two flying family members formed up on either side of him, prepared to face whatever menacing power the region was going to throw at them next.

[color=FD0000]”OH HEY. IT’S THE SUB-SPACE ARMY,”[/color] Bowser shouted when the purple particle based foes materialized an revealed themselves to be a familiar former friends/foes, before calling out to peach and fox [color=FD0000]” REMEMBER THESE GUYS? GUESS TATTOO GOT DEMOTED TO JUST BEING A WORLD BOSS OR SOMETHING”[/color]

[color=DeepSkyBlue]“Tabuu”[/color] Kamek corrected him

[color=FD0000]”WHATEVER- WOAH!”[/color] Bowser exclaimed as Torra leaped to block a cannon shot from one of the Primids, [color=FD0000]”ALRIGHT KOOPA TROOP, LET’S SHOW THEM WHO’S BOSS. JR, LET’S GIVE EM A GOOMBA SWARM!”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”On it Papa. Goomba squad! Bullet bill formation!”[/color] Jr yelled, stepping up onto the rim of his clown car with one foot and pointing commandingly towards the enemy as he shouted, calling a horde of goombas to spawn around him and counter charged the advancing sub-space army. 

The koopas didn’t leave them to simply charge alone, as this would surely fail, and so instead each koopa gave “aid” to the stunty mushroomoid soldiers. Bowser spat out small jets of flame, lighting a fire under the Goomba’s butts and launching them skywards like angry little rockets, only for them to come crashing down on the heads of the enemies. Jr hurled globs of green Brachydios slime onto Goombas as they passed him, turning them into improvised bob-oms that careened into the enemy's ranks and blew holes in the enemy's formation. Finally Kamek and his clones gave far more traditional aid, casting size increasing and defense increasing buffs on the goombas that gave them a fighting chance against the subspace army in one vs one fights. Regular goombas might be weenies but size them up a bit and make them tougher and they were walking maws with pairs of massive fangs that could do a surprising amount of damage.

The Sub-Space armies predominantly melee focused troops prevented them from simply gunning down the whole wave of goombas and so instead the two ground armies clashed together in a cacophonous melee, Primids hacking at the mushroom troops, Borboras blowing them away, Bytan meeting in them armless combat while the bulky Tickens barging through their ranks. 

[color=FD0000]”Hammer Bros! Get in there!”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”Koopa Troopas! Chain Chomp formation! Reinforce the flanks!”[/color]

[color=DeepSkyBlue]“Dry bones! It is time to rise! drag these fools to their demise!”[/color] 

The Troops leaders called out, sending in the koopas to the fray, the turtle trouble makers charging in, fists and claws flailing while hammers and bones went flying, and turning the fight into a pitched battle with a front line and everything, at least in the area ahead of Bowser.

While the melee began to rage the commanders moved to provide support to their troops. Kamek and his red clones lobbed fireballs over the heads of the troops into the enemy ranks and fired their triple shape spells at Feyesh and Armights coming in to attack from above while Bowser let out vast gouts of flame to do the same. Jr meanwhile chugged a bottle of water and grabbed his paintbrush before waving it too and fro, hurling rainbow ink at the subspace army, splattering them with the dot damage dealing goo and causing the translucent dumbo octopus looking Swoopin Stus to spawn in their ranks, further spreading the ink across the canyon floor.
