[color=DeepSkyBlue]”ahhh Bandages. Healing. I get it”[/color] the slightly confused kamek noted as he conjured a white orb and tossed it to one of the attack clones, switching it to a white mage to heal him. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Right then, only four-”[/color] Kamek began before another explosion echoed from the tower Jr had been using as a firing platform for his minions after the boy hucked a glob of explosive goo onto it’s crystal [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Three left,”[/color] he corrected himself. [color=FD0000]”Alright! Couple of fireballs should seal the deal. These better not regenerate, that’d be a pain”[/color] Bowser added, but before he, or anyone else, could take down the final three healing crystals the Ender dragon swooped in with another attack, and this one was a doozy. She came in like a hurricane, flying low and dragging a howling gale of air after her. A brief initial impression that she wasn't going to hit anything where rapidly disavowed when the wind blast hit the troop. Kamek and his clones, all supremely light, were hurled along after her path like strands of straw, all clinging to their brooms. The true mage vanished in a panicked teleport, narrowly avoiding the fate of three of his clones who slammed into other towers and dissipated in an instant. Sectonia did the same thing that the koopa mage had done, teleporting to mitigate the wind buffet and keep her spot in the air. [color=SpringGreen]”wow wow wow waaaaaaa!”[/color] "miiii miiii kyuyuyuyuyu!" Jr was far less fortunate, his clown car spinning end over end as he clung to its internals and Mimikyu clung to him in turn, long arms wrapped around her trainer’s arm several times over to avoid being tossed to the wind. The car smacked into a tower with a clonk, the ultra-hard obsidian cracking its pristine while surface and killing the engine, causing it to fall to the fortunately more spongy ground. Both the boy and machine were tough but the landing still hurt like heck. Blazermate didn’t fare very well much like Jr, but unlike Jr, she didn’t have anything to shield her body from the impact against a pillar. Using her combat knowledge, she managed to lessen the damage dealt to her parts by rolling as she hit the pillar, but this still severely damaged her suffering arm part that she used to brunt most of the impact. [color=0072bc]”Owwwww”[/color] Blazermate said as she glided down to the ground, landing beyond the pillar near where the dragon had stopped to watch its chaos unfold [color=SpringGreen]”Owwwww”[/color] jr complained as he crawled out of the lightly smoking clown car along with Mimikyu, who’s cloud like body seemed to have absorbed most of the impacts without much of an issue. Jr. echoed the same discomfort Blazermate felt at hitting one of those pillars. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Are you alright young master?”[/color] asked a suddenly repairing Kamek, who had returned from the high altitude location he had vanished to in-order to stabilize himself without fear of smacking into something. The mage offered the prince a hand, and helped him to his feet. [color=SpringGreen]”yeah. No. Everything kinda hurts.”[/color] jr admitted, his body having been jarred by the impacts and aching in complaint about not being allowed to lay still far a fair while longer despite the danger. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”oh dear. Well that is no good. We’ll need to do something about that right away”[/color] the mage replied in a concerned tone, before glancing around and asking [color=DeepSkyBlue]”where did my minions run off to”[/color] while looking for the white mage clone. [hr] Sectonia, having easily recovered from the air buffet of the Ender Dragon, watched the others as they dealt with it in a much less elegant way. A few slammed into columns, some actually rode the currents somewhat gracefully, and one…. Fell off the edge. [color=92278f]”sigh…”[/color] The bee queen exhaled as she began to rapidly blink, closing distance much faster than she could normally by flying in order to catch the falling Euden and bring him back to the platform much like she said she’d do. After all, a Queen doesn’t go against her decrees. Around the area where the others had been scattered flew Kamek’s white clad doppelganger and the team of toadies, the stout propeller born minions helping to pick people up and while the white mage healed some of their lesser wounds. [hr] [color=SpringGreen]”Who cares about them”[/color] jr replied to Kamek’s wondering about where his magical medical aid had gotten off to [color=SpringGreen]”where is Papa!? Where is the dragon!?”[/color] The answer was clarified by a roar. When Jr, Mimikyu and Kamek followed the noise round the side of the pillar jr had crashed next to they found the answer to both of the young prince's questions. Bowser, thanks to his meowser transformation, had had a far better landing than most as, after being blown off the tower he’d landed on his feet (and hands) and used his cat claws and the Mecha-mit to dig into the ground and avoid being blown clean off the side of the island, leaving great scratch marks in the process. The fall being about twice of what the king regularly leapt around ment it had still hurt his legs and arms upon landing and, worse, he’d apparently drawn the ire of the ender dragon as she hovered over her scattered foes, looking for targets to snuff out. As the king got to his feet her shadow fell over him, causing him to turn in surprise and then raor ind defiance as her claw came down to smash him to pieces, the king raising his claws to block the crushing blow. There was a flash of light as the claw of the dragon struck down onto the king, and then a shower of dust. [color=SpringGreen]”no!”[/color] The dragon sneered for a moment before a look of surprise crossed her face as her claw was pushed up and the dust cleared, revealing Bowser standing in a small crater, his body coated in a glowing blue metallic field and his eyes ablaze with golden light. [color=0072bc]”Phew, just in time! Go beat her up big guy!”[/color] Blazermate said, her healing beam having just barely been able to attach to Bowser allowing her to ubercharge him and herself to make them completely invincible right before the claw hit the koopa king. [color=FD0000]”GAHAHAHAHAHA! This feels great!”[/color] the glowing king laughed before spotting the relieved looking Kamek and Jr [color=FD0000]”Kamek! Make me bigger! I want more power!”[/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Yes Sire!”[/color] Kamek called back before brandishing his wand. [color=SpringGreen]”Mimikyu, copycat Kamek!”[/color] jr instructed, the mon replying with a nod [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Swoop wings and salamander skin, look out dragon here comes the king!”[/color] “Mimi. Kyu! Kyu! Kyu!” The mage and mon chanted and then thrust their wand and tail stick towards Bowser, firing twin blasts of rainbow colored energy into the king who began to rapidly grow and grow and grow. Combining his own dark magic with Kamek and Mimikyu’s spells the ubered Bowser grew to immense size shoving the ender dragon back as she blasted his invulnerable frame with acid to no avail. [color=FD0000]”NOW I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT A REAL BOSS LOOKS LIKE!”[/color] the now equally massive turtle dragon growled, right before the ubercharged timed out. [color=FD0000]”UH OH,”[/color] he said in response to the loss of his invulnerability, eyes darting back and forth for a few moments of panic before they hardened and he went on the offensive. Roaring, he swiped at the ender dragon with a mecha mit bladed claw slash at her at the same moment as Tora and Poppie’s volley of missiles arrived. Thankfully Bowser did get 12 seconds of uninterrupted healing allowing Blazermate to build him some Overheal for his now incredibly massive health pool. The medabot also healed a much smaller amount with her passive healing thanks to the Uberheart, but her suffering arm was still in bad shape. Over by jr the mage and mon where both kneeling (or just crouched down to give the impression of kneeling in Mimikyue’s case), the butt of their wand and tail planted to the ground and grasped in both hands as if each weighed a ton while they maintained the spell while a still shook and a little thirsty jr stood guard wearily. Sectonia watched as the whole ordeal went down, a bit shocked and slightly intimidated at how massive Bowser had gotten. Apparently his ‘buffoonery’ was just how he was, but he could actually back up his ‘king’ title with a massive show of force. If anyone could see her face, they’d see that she was impressed and intrigued with Bowser for the first time, instead of just annoyed at his loudness. Even so, the cat look was still really, REALLY stupid, causing her to chuckle at the whole situation. She did still manage to bring Euden back to the platform, putting him on top of a lower obsidian spire away from the edge so that he wouldn’t be a bother again. She then followed up by firing a large light ring at another crystal.
