Anybody up for a semi-final boss?

[Every time a new Herald rose, it fell thanks to the efforts of Daybreak Academy. But even though their souls might have perished, their machinations could be felt even now. For some, the damage had been done and it was a time for healing. For others, there would be obstacles to come. Works of evil left behind to haunt humanity and its allies even after the bringers of Night fell. One such work lay in a former professor. Although Bowser returned to his kingdom to take care of business, he promised to return one day. And while Bowser wasn't exactly a good guy, he was pretty reliable when it came to keep promises. So what happened?

Well, it seems we finally know.

For several days, reports of various outlands coming under attack by a mysterious force had come in. However, most were not very helpful. Finally, though, a transmission got through that served to be more informative. A massive turtle-like beast was rampaging throughout various lands, laying waste to anything in its path. And whatever wasn't destroyed was being corrupted by this sticky, inklike liquid. The beast was also drenched in the stuff, yet this liquid never seemed to slide off or decrease in mass. Finally, it seems like magical light, such as radiance, is effective on it, and that the creature is almost subconsciously making its way toward the Mushroom Kingdom.

Should anyone wish to investigate, the Mushroom Kingdom is very much still there, but there are signs of trouble brewing. For starters, it hasn't stopped raining in several days. Earthquakes plague the region and the water has slowly started to be corrupted by the inky goo. Despite the state of affairs, Princess Peach warmly welcomes any to her kingdom and plays the role of an excellent host, though it's clear the troubles are worrying her and she very much appreciates the help.

Various power-ups have been collected in preparation for the big fight, including Mega Mushrooms, which will no doubt be helpful against what they can only assume is Bowser or someone copying him. A day later, the storm and the ooze have only begun to spread further and strike harder, with some of the mushroom citizens becoming corrupted by it. The source seems to be a new mountain range that has formed.

A mountain range that begins to spin.

Said mountain range, which now is quite clearly a massive shell with spikes, jumps in the air and shatters, revealing an all-too-familiar figure who seems to have gotten a makeover. "Bowser" lets loose a mighty, earth-shaking roar and begins to charge with Peach's Castle in his sights.]


((OOC: OKAY SO, here's a boss fight against Fury Bowser! Seems like the coach has undergone a bit of trouble during his time away. I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle. Feel free to go as crazy as you want. Mega Mushrooms are especially helpful in this fight, as they can even the playing field a bit. They won't make you quite as a big as Bowser, but they'll allow you to actually do damage to him no matter what. Likewise, magic and especially radiance will still be effective, so it's a matter of working with what you have. Feel free to get creative! If you ever wanted to use a power-up in the Marioverse, now's as good a time as any!))
