The gaster blaster’s lasers ghosted right through Bowser like the bone waves had, inflicting the same karmatic poison. The resulting pain coursing through his body cut off his vacuum breath before it could upset the tiny skeleton’s untouchability. The king crumpled to the floor, the poison burning at his essence, dark magic boiling off of him as the spell enlarging him to the brunt of the poison, causing him to shrink slightly before Blazermate dashed in and cleared the effect. 

[color=FD0000]”You’re a lifesaver”[/color] Bowser said as the pain abruptly came to an end, but the robot girl was already dashing away to cure someone else before he could thank her properly. With their guardian angel on the case with her cure all San’s barrages of attacks had almost been in the red team's favor, the skeleton having decimated the hordes of other undead who lacked their own medic to save them from his indiscriminate blaster and bone fire.

Now however he was pouring wave after wave after wave of fire into a hulking titan summoned by V, the skeleton’s bones and lasers joined by Marie’s skull barrages. Despite this the monster didn’t even flinch under the hail of fire, even Marie switching target’s to the creature's summoner. Nothing could stop it, least of all Bowser who picked himself off the ground just in time to see the colossus unleash a great beam of purple light at Marie. The demonic laser beam was blinding, forcing the king to shield his eyes. When it subsided, all that was left of the cursed girl were her scattered bones and the pulsating dark skullheart holding the ruined remains of her around it. When the dark heart beat, the shadow that had been guarding Marie pulsed into view with the heart at its core, revealing itself to not have been a minion but in fact to be the one pulling the girl’s strings.

[color=FD0000]”YOU MONSTER! SHE WAS JUST A KID”[/color] Bowser roared, jabbing an accusatory finger at the shadowy figure. Where Sans was touched by a brief melancholy, Bowser was filled with rage at what this thing, this woman, had done to a child. She’d poisoned Marie’s soul, warped her body and mind and even now that she had been reduced to tatters and rags was holding her together to continue its destructive ends. Enough was enough. He didn’t need Blazermate’s helpful call to know who to target.

Bowser charged. Bones and beams struck him, but the king shed his dark power, growing smaller and faster. When slammed he landed on all fours and launched himself forward again till he got close, where he launched himself airborne, pulled his extremities into his shell and tried to deliver a shell spinning attack to the skullhearted shadow woman, the King coming in like a whirling fortress of spikes, armor and fatherly fury.
