Suffice to say was not pleasant. Fortunately for him, the combined assault by the team (which had saved him from having his face melted off in the first place) waylaid the dragon as well, who stumbled over into a tower, fell to the ground and proceeded to get shot and stabbed a whole bunch. This provided the koopa king with enough time to summon Heel into one hand. He then proceeded to use the Rabbid supporter’s healing power as an eyedropper, holding the rather upset bunny over each eye in turn and giving him a squeeze to force a blast of healing energy out of his backpack and directly into the affected area. His nose and lips still stung from places where acid droplets had struck him, but at least the king could see again. This was right in time for him to block a powerful tail swipe from the dragon with the energy buckler on his mecha-mit, the orange shield defecting the blow from striking either the king and Geralt. Unfortunately the hit shattered the process of deflecting the attack, rendering both its offensive and defensive abilities unusable for the time being. Gaige-tron was not so lucky to have Bowser there to tank the dragon’s blows and ended up being crushed while saving the courier from that vary same fate. Bowser barely noticed her being taken out of the fight (and in-fact was something of a danger himself to the team in a very similar manner due to his obviousness to the location of their tiny forms as he stomped about) while the other three members of the troop visibly winced when the bot was trampled, and then where relieved when the cats evacuated her wholly intact body to safety. It was, to the trio, very nice to know there was a way to survive trampling what with two giant dragons roaming around the increasingly cramped feeling island. The Ender Dragon took wing again and proceeded to flap around at a low-ish altitude to spit loogies down on the team as they recovered from her wind blast. Bowser blocked a few of these with a scaly arm and hands, practicing batting them out of the air, to protect himself, his family and his allies. The acid bit into his scales, stinging and itching wherever it touched, but was unable to truly wound his armored and scaled form when it hit where he wanted it to and Blazermate’s lingering overheal quickly patched over any minor inconveniences it managed to cause. In retaliation he spat out numerous fireballs and, while most of these now equally enlarged flaming projectiles ended up simply slowly sailing past their intended target, a couple struck true, mostly against her massive wingspan, washing their impact sites with fire. Jr meanwhile could mainly only watch as the others took shots at their foe while being frustrated at his lack of long ranged firepower. Still. He got to watch his father go to town kaiju style, which was, to jr, always cool to watch. Passive observation ended however when the dragon dive bombed them with another air blast. Fortunately for the trio Jr was prepared this time, having retrieved a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warframe/images/7/70/FishingSpearT3Peram.png/revision/latest?cb=20171027150839]fishing spear[/url] (that he’d meant to use for its intended purpose but never got round to practicing) from his duffel bag and jammed it into the spongy stone with a few smacks of the necro-smasher ahead of time. He grabbed Mimikyu with one hand, Kamek in the other and then bit the spear horizontally, gripping it with his jaw to prevent them all from being blown away just in the nick of time. The light trio where lifted off of their feet, but Jrs fangs held true and kept them all from smashing into something or being tossed into the void As the trio blew in the wind Bowser’s enhancement flickered, the king losing some size as he completely shrugged off the air blast and simultaneously lessened its impact for those blocked by his bulk. [color=FD0000]”Kamek! Keep it together down there!”[/color] the king yelled at his head minion as his form wobbled from the disruption in consecration caused by his powerup's power sources being waved around like a pair of windsocks. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Yes sire! Sorry sire!”[/color] Kamek called back after the blast passed them and he and Mimikue were put back down by a panting jr. The boy’s trials were not over however, as the Ender Dragon then hovered up and over the top of the island, either completely oblivious or unfazed by the loss of its final healing crystals to an exploding rubber ducky, and started barfing up acid. [color=SpringGreen]”Eww. ok. We should move”[/color] jr said as the flood of acid started to drain down from the summit of the island, threatening to make the entire area a deeply unpleasant foot corroding wet floor hazard. [color=FD0000]”That’s it. I’ve had enough of you flying around like you’re all that. Get down here!”[/color] Bowser roared up at the Ender Dragon as she did this, thundering up the side of the hill and leaping upwards in a very floaty looking jump, hand outstretched to grab her tail and drag her down to the ground. Hard. [color=SpringGreen]”or not.”[/color] Jr corrected himself as Bowser began his run, while the mage and Pokemon both eyed the incoming wash with concern. Rather than grab them to run away and disrupt their magic, jr stepped forwards and began drawing on the ground in front of them with the green goo he now secreted from his wrists and new pompadour like horn. As he did he summoned a small team of koopa troopas and commanded them to [color=SpringGreen]”get my car!”[/color] to which the Koopa replied with a “yes your majesty” before hurrying around the back of the pillar to do just that. After they left the goo started exploding, blowing a shallow trench-line in the soft end stone following jr’s drawing . When the koopas came back, carrying the car between them like a bunch of Pikmin, jr got them to toss him it. The much stronger jr caught the lips of the car in one hand and quickly dismissed his troops. Then he grabbed Kamek with the other hand and pulled him close while using the foot on the opposite side to scoot Mimikyu underneath him. Then, right as the acid was about to hit, jr pulled the clown car down over the three of them, turning it into a little bunker rimmed by a drainage ditch. The acid sloshed down from the island summit, and then down into the ditch, and then along its route to lower ground behind them, causing it to drain to either side of where the trio were hiding under the clown car. Splashes of acid leaping up from their fall into the ditch that might still have harmed them instead struck the hardy shell of the clown car, burning off its paintwork but leaving those hiding inside safe to keep Bowser big enough to wrestle with the dragon. Or, in Jr’s case, free to drink several bottles of water to quench the thirst his goop drawing had created.
