[hider=for kamek]
The End - the greatest marksman in the world of Metal Gear. He offers just one service as an assist: pinpoint accuracy shots at incredible range. He can be called more frequently than one might expect, but when called he needs a moment to set up before he can fire, and not just to spot the shot. His custom Mosin Nagant fires tranquilizer rounds, and given the nature of tranquilizers he needs to adjust the dosage precisely based on the target, since too little can do nothing and too much can cause nasty repercussions. His durability is low, but he will self-destruct if hit while assisting, increasing the cooldown to call him again but offering additional utility

Quiet - a silent markswoman from the world of Metal Gear. She can be called upon as a striker to provide either super long-range or CQC assistance with her sniper rifle or knife. While her assists are quick and highly damaging, and she can be called with average frequency, her durability is low

Eventually everyone was ready to set out once more, though the amount of delays and side adventures meant that the troop had time for a quick snack before the final battle, one consisting of a few fire breath roasted sausages for Bowser and his son and a small plastic tub of fruit salad for Kamek and Mimikyue. The delay provided time for rest as well, something much needed after the long hike through the mountains and the subsequent nerve wracking sniper ambush, which left the troop raring to go once everyone got their act together and set off for the end of their journey.

One clunky and slightly hair raising trip across a bridge (which Jr, Kamek and the wizard’s toadies were spared by simply flying over it) later and they were ready to pass through the barrier. There was some hesitation from those to first break the barrier, but the troop had no such reservations. Bowser plowed through the barrier and barely avoided a collision with the piece of congestion Tora had caused, and then also barely avoided falling off the fleeting island they were on down into the void below.

[color=FD0000]”WOW. OK. A LOT OF PLATFORMING IN THIS ONE”[/color] he said, as Jr and Kamek both drifted up and over the crowd forming (on what could end up being a rather cramped feeling island once everyone arrived) in order to survey the area. Around them was a fairly ordinary, to them, infinite sky full of large floating platforms hovering over a bottomless abyss.

[color=SpringGreen]”It’s like a galaxy. Kinda plain one tho,”[/color] Jr commented, taking in the beige colored islands that reminded him of one of the many areas of space the Koopa troop had battled Mario in while trying to take over the universe, [color=SpringGreen]”and no welcoming party either. Sky’s kinda creepy tho.”[/color] 

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”It might just be my memory sire, but this doesn't look a whole lot like how you described subspace when you regaled with the story about it all those years ago.”[/color] Kamek said as he looked around with bespectacled eyes

[color=FD0000]”Well that’s cause it can look like anywhere it’s stolen,”[/color] Bowser insisted with stubborn self assurance.

[color=SpringGreen]”Place with the pillers has gotta be the boss is right?”[/color] Jr asked from above, pointing towards the central islands

[color=FD0000]”Probably just the door to the next-”[/color] Bowser began, before they were interrupted by yelling from nearby. A lanky pick black distorted thing that blended in far too well with the black static sky had appeared from nowhere and was in the midst of flash stepping around and wailing on a panicked Tora.

The trio watched the battle for a moment before Jr noted in an off hand kind of way that [color=SpringGreen]”I don’t think they’ve got this?”[/color]

[color=FD0000]”Gah. Let’s go.”[/color] Bowser growled before stomping his way towards them, followed by Jr.

Kamek meanwhile stayed back and instead brought out one of his new strikers: The End. The old man appeared below where the mage was hoovering on his broom, sniper rifle in hand and a green parrot sat upon his shoulder which squawked and flapped its wings while the End took in the realm he shared his name with.

“Hmmm... what sunless purgatory have you brought me to? I suppose it matters not. So. Who is my target” the man said slowly as he turned his eyes upon the old koopa.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Shoot that thing if it jumps again,”[/color] Kamek instructed, pointing at the warping monster just before it jumped back in for a second strike.

“Oh? Hmmm about... 1.53 times the mass of a human I think,” the End noted, mostly unphased by the monster’s supernatural appearance, and began to load what he thought the appropriate dose would be for the strange monster into his tranque sniper. As he did he kept one bulging eye on the fight, while his bird took to the air and landed on the end of Kamek’s broom and began acting as his spotter, ready to squawk out targets for its ‘Grandpa’. 

While this had been ongoing Bowser and Jr had rushed into the fray. Literally in Bowser’s case as he charged in a straight line at where the Enderman had reappeared, aiming a wound up clawed palm strike at its side. JR meanwhile fellow to Bowser’s side, and to the monster’s rear, boxing gloves deployed and ready to pummel the lanky creature if it survived the collision with Bowser and did not retreat as a result.
