The mage cringed under his oversized glasses at the beating their target’s opening gambit had delivered, but fortunately no lives had been ended and instead only some bodies and egos had been bruised by the blow. Up above, the dragon soared onward, having received a couple of arrows lodged in its side and scratching from the bee queen’s magic ir retaliation as it climbed up and away from them. After it chased Jr and Mimikyue’s fiery balloons, the pair of shots slowly deflated as they failed to catch it until they eventually deflated entirely and fell from the sky as sad extinguished rubber bags of failure. [color=SpringGreen]”OH COME ON!”[/color] came a cry from Jr in response as he raised his arms in exasperation exclamation while floating above them. As the dragon began to wheel around for another pass Bower grunted, then retrieved the lucky bell from his pocket and clipped to his choker, transforming himself into Meowser [color=FD0000]”Not just gonna sit here and take this!”[/color] he told Kamek before running towards and then launching himself half way up the nearest tower. Cat claws penetrated the strange stone as Bowser stopped his downward momentum and left gashes in the tower, before he began to rapidly climb it. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Good idea sire!”[/color] Kamek called after him, before racing upwards towards another tower and calling out to jr [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Young master! Up up. We’ll punish the beast when it comes in low!”[/color] [color=SpringGreen]”How does that help me I’m already flying?… oh wait I know!”[/color] Jr said after a few seconds of thought, before following their lead. As the dragon moved in to bombard the grounded group with acid the troop all reached the top of their respective towers. Atop them floated strange pink floating crystals suspended inside two layers of glass framework hovering above a burning pierce of stone. These pieces of the environment were ignored for now, as the troop instead began to make use of the pillars as firing platforms. [color=SpringGreen]”Primid Party! Form up and light up that dragon”[/color] jr called out, bringing out the pyramid spirits he’d collected from their first encounter on this boss run out as a striker team. The purple skinned, green clad mooks of the Subspace army piled up on top of the pillar at his command, each one coming equipped(this time round) with chunky, primitive looking Super Scope. [color=SpringGreen]”Line up, give that big jerk three rounds rapid! No one makes me look bad and gets away with it!”[/color] Jr ordered, jabbing his paintbrush towards the beast. Complying, the goons formed an organized firing line on the pillar with one row of them kneeling while the other stood behind them. Together, they all scoped out the mighty beast before, as commanded, each one fired of a burst of [url=https://www.ssbwiki.com/images/6/61/ScopePrimidRapidFire.jpg]three projectiles[/url] at the dragon. On Bowser’s tower, the big man himself took a deep breath and began blasting fireball after fireball out at the dragon while on his Kamek commanded his clones to start tossing out classic magikoopa spells while the mage himself summoned Quiet atop his tower. All of this firepower was, befitting bad guys, big, glowing and slow, but there was a lot of it. Even Mimikyu, who jr commanded to shock the Ender dragon, somewhat fit this trend with their hurled electro balls, even if they were a fair bit quicker. Collectively they filled the air with shots, most of which were destined to miss. The only expedition then would Quiet, who after being summoned and instructed by Kamek took one look at the bullet hell her turtley boss’s cohort was producing, mentally despaired at the utter lack of markswomanship on display and then got to work. She scoped in her rifle, tired to avoid going blind from the shower of glowing shots and found her target. She took her time, scanning the beast for weak points and as a result got a close look at the effects of the purple beam fired from one of the towers as it struck the beast. The wounds it had taken, both from the retaliation to it;s dive bomb and from any grazes from the Troop’s projectile vomit, were swept away in an instant. This, she knew, was a problem. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Lit bob-ombs alive, good thing that wasn't one of ours,”[/color] Kamek said in alarm as he turned to look at the crystal floating next to them. He rubbed the chin of his beak as he examined the crystal with the eye of someone well versed in all things arcane before saying loudly [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Some kind of support magic I believe?”[/color] before adding a [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Wouldn’t you agree with your highness?”[/color] directed at Queen Sectonia, the only other mage in their party. Quiet slammed the butt of her gun into the ground, getting Kamek’s attention, before pointing at the dragon (which was wheeling around again after being healed and mostly ignoring its hitchhikers) and mimicking applying bandages to herself. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”What? You aren't injured. What are you doing.”[/color] Quiet pointed at the crystal and quickly repeated her action. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”The crystal? Look just, leave the magic to the mages and keep shooting while I study it”[/color] Kamek replied, waving her off. Exasperated, the sniper simply took matters into her own hands, shoving the mage aside as he attempted to examine the crystal, drew her knife and plunged it into the dragon healing artifact. This caused it to explode, instantly dispelling Quiet as Kamek cried out in surprise and shields himself from a light shower of dust and ash the detonation caused. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”They explode? Fool of a... well I supposed that is good to know… oh. Oh dear.”[/color] Kamek noted as he looked down at the blast crater left atop the tower, before turning and warning the others [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Be careful! The crystals explode if hit!”[/color] Atop their towers the two royal koopas had very different reactions. Bowser took one look at the crystal, recognized this as an instant kill boss kill switch (for himself) and promptly got the heck out of there. After a short run up he leapt from his own tower towards Kamek’s now explosive free tower, claws sinking into the side of it before he started hauling himself up it to a bomb free zone. Atop Jr’s the Primid shooters all collectively glanced over their soldiers at the explosive [s]barrel[/s] glowing crystal behind them with nervousness before Jr (who was safely floating away from the crystal) yelled at them [color=SpringGreen]”Did I say you could stop? Shoot shoot shoot! Your almost out of time. Give it a charged shot!”[/color] The Primids scrambled back into position, and began holding down the triggers of their weapons, causing a bright red glow to begin emanating from them. Once fully charged up the battery of guns unleashed a flurry of larger, faster moving [url=https://www.ssbwiki.com/images/0/09/ScopePrimidChargeShot.jpg]projectile[/url] towards the Ender Dragon. The recoil from these shots collectively bowled the Primids over, causing them to collapsed comedically into a disorganized heap before their time ran up and they too dissipated.
