Other World
Regarding the 99.9% chance of you holding something back too... I wanna savor this.

Chances are, I'll be here for eternities doing nothing. I don't want potential fun to go to waste.


Kermit vanishes behind Walter and grabs the back of his head, ragdolling him face-first through the ground.

Grassy Mesa Zone That scum-sucking , money-robbing, dishonest, BASTARD!
Wari--
NO! I will not stand for what has been done! Call me fat, quadruple-chinned, lying, insecure-- believe what you wanna believe! But one thing that I am not-- is relenting! I'm not gonna lie down and let someone cheap shot me and make off with my cash!
It was just a bag of coins! This is what Bowser wants! To get you distracted!
Well, we'll compensate for that by giving him twice the beating when the time comes! In the meantime-- consider me distracted!
Wa--
Besides, what are you gonna do!? Use your tennis moves!? Air-swim the bag of coins back!?
I--
Listen up, Waluigi! You don't cheat because you're clever-- you cheat because you're just that insignificant! The last time you were ever a threat was on the dance floor! You're no Seven Star Child, you're no important character, and if all you can do is whine-- you're nothing but dead weight.

Wario storms off, leaving Waluigi on his own. Sad, Waluigi couches down in shame... only able think about the haunting words of Wario.

wherever the CRNS are, i'unno ...
What happened to the Tournament thing you wanted to do?
I've not the slightest clue.

Other World

Buddy, I can't let you do this. Look. I'mna give you the obligatory warning. Take yourself and your men back to where you came from. No bloodshed will occur if you follow this direction.




Kermit releases part of his inner power, bulking up immensely!



Kermit shortly powers up, and dashes straight at Walter!

Other World Walter teleports in front of the energy he sensed, revealing a group of people next to him. The others' energy levels, however, remain discrete.


State your identity and reason for being here. I'm not going to repeat what literally everyone says and whine that I need a break, mainly because I've done nothing for the near 5,000 pages, but I won't lie when I say that your presence here is... disturbing.





....

Walter laughs uncontrollaby. Kermit, who does not take a liking to this, shoots a sphere of energy that sends him flying. He teleports back.


Okay... we're actually doing this.
C'mon, he's just a stupid muppet. How strong could he be?

Abandoned City Unfortunately, Foreman Spike is nowhere to be found.

Other World ...
Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. H--
--What? Can you not see I'm busy?
Yes, because Meditating and Mental Image Training is so important.
Look, if you want, I can create a living construct for your conscious to inhabit. Then you'll be able to do whatever kooky stuff you want. But don't pester me for the sake of your own boredom.
Hmmph. And I thought Proteus talked you out of that stupid pacifism stuff you were doing.
I'm doing what I have to do. I will act when the time callwoahwoahwoahwoahWOAH! You feel that power too, right?
Huh. This is rather unexpected. We should probably check this out.

"Oliver" No I will not forget that teleports somewhere else on the planet.

Abandoned City Three... two... one.

As it was rigged too should the person be too late to destroy all the said items in the buildiing, the giant scraper explodes. A minute later, out of the rubble stands Foreman Spike.

Heh. Too easy. Small fry like him never learn. Now, I reckon you'll be coming with me as a prisoner of--
Mr. Spike, I believe capturing this ape needn't be necessary.

Out from the shadows steps Kamek. How long he has been watching remains unknown.

I bring news from the his foulness himself that a change of plans is in order. This ape is to be the least of our priorities currently. He possesses zero threat to the Koopa Troop, and is as such, NEGATIVE concern of his.

Foreman Spike gets in Kamek's face.

Are you sayin' that the (albeit barely any) trouble I went through to stomp that burly behemoth is for naught!?
Q-quite the c-contrary. *ahem*... You will still have your reward... And better yet... more opportunities to increase your earnings, AND get the desired revenge you seek.
...
...Well, why ain't'ya say so!? 'sides, 've got better to do that to waste my sweet time on dirty monkies!
Excellent! Then we shall be taking our leave!

Kamek raises his wand... and teleports the two away.

Abandoned City Just as the bombs explode, D.K sees a diving Foreman Spike heading right at him!

Here's one for the road, yard ape!

Foreman Spike immediately smacks him across the face with a shockwave-inducing Hammer Smash!

1 minute remains.

Grassy Mesa Zone ...And then he just comes out of the box and says "kept you waiting, huh!?"
Doesn't seem like a bad entrance to me.
I'unno, to me it sounds plain lame. I mean, a box? In that kind of atmosphere the aesthetic loses a good deal of it's charm. Not much impressive with box shenanigans when there's others that have beaten literal gods. Hell, one of them IS a god*. Call it a bias of mine, but since I'm not the cowardly type, I don't see the big deal in it. Whaddyou think?
I-- YOW!!

Waluigi and Wario are both assaulted by arrowheads, sending them spiraling down to the growund! The assailant picks up Wario's bag of coins...

....

The stangely-shaped figure immediately runs off, while at the same time Wario and Waluigi, wounded, get up.

Ugh... what the hell was that?
I'unno... felt these... sharp things pierce us.
Whatever it was, we'll have to watch out for any strange signs later. I'll just grab my bag and--

Wario reaches out... only to realize nothing is there. He turns, his back facing Waluigi, his fists clenched. A sinister vibe leaks from Wario, which Waluigi senses.

...Wario?

Wario punches the ground, creating a massive crater!

WHOEVER YOU ARE, I'LL FIND YOU FOR THIS! FIND YOU, AND POUND YOU TO DUST!

He then angrily sprints in the same direction the figure went.

..Hoo boy.

Waluigi quickly follows.

*See: Palutena (Kid Icarus)

Abandoned City And just how sure are you 'bout that, varmint? 'cause I recommend you look again.

Foreman Spike points down. Sure enough, he seems to be standing on the very top of humongous excavator claw that reaches through the building. Looking back at Spike himself, he has gathered two bombs in the both of his hands!

This'll be a piece'a cake.

Abandoned City Hnngh... Too bad it'll take more than that to grind my gears! Men! It's demolition' time!

Immediately explosions happen all over the floors D.K and his men are in, sending them crashing down several floors!

What's wrong, boy? F'y'can't stand the heat, stay outta the kitchen!!

2 minutes remain.

Grassy Mesa Zone Waluigi and Wario are both walking along, proceeding their journey. Wario, however, is holding a magnet out in the air, attracting all coins in the distance.

Wario, I thought we already established that there's no necessity in collecting coins anymore.
If there's one thing I learned, Waluigi, it's that it's better to be safe than sorry. You never know what money-sucking monsters you may find in this world.

Wario puts every coin in a bag, which somehow does not change in mass or size.

Wahahah! No losers are going to rain on this parade!
I dunno... I have a bad feeling that something is on the way.

Abandoned City What!? Impossible!
...Is what I'd say if I didn't bring a cupl'a pals'a my own.

Suddenly, a storm of Jackhammer-riding Koopas crash down on DK's wrecking crew, sending him back to a tenth of the building!

Abandoned City As the two pass dozens of skyscrapers, Foreman Spike stops at the very center, right in front of the largest one of all of them, spanning dozens of miles of it's own into the air.

This is where we face off, ape. Y'gotta break alla them blocks inside that there ultrascraper in 3 minutes. You win, you can go to yer flea-ridden monkey island and continue mingling like the dirty varmint you are. I win...
...Let's just say the paycheck that Bowser'll give me for bringin' you in'll have me set for life. Now, without further ado...It's time to get this party started.

"Stanley's" Greenhouse Spike seems to be in the process of objecting, but things to himself...
(Hmmm... I can't end up causin' a ruckus with some big showdown in this city, else it'll cause some typa suspicion... plus, there's no way this fat chimp could beat an' old pro like me. I'll break his spirit... And force him to hand himself over 'ta King Koopa.)
You're on, diddly. But before this city ends up destroyed... 's best we take this somewhere... remote.

Spike suddenly drives his excavator out of the Greenhouse, signaling D.K to follow him to an Abandoned City.

"Stanley's" Greenhouse Grr... Are ya implyin' that yer as good a wrecker as I am!? Lemme get this straight, hoss. You couldn't beat me in a Wreckin' contest if yer life depended on it. I've been splittin' glass for as long as I remember. Last time any wreckin' was done in yer blood it was yer grandaddy throwin' barrells. You wouldn't stand'a lick of a chance.

Foreman Spike snaps his fingers. Immediately, hammers appear, breaking every window in the building!

Now here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna come with me to the ol' turtle's hideout, and he's gonna give me a fine reward for capturin' yer monkey butt. Either way...

Spike runs out of the Greenhouse. Seconds later, he returns with an extremely large excavator!

Yer goose is plumb cooked, ape!

♪ Theme: Wrecking Crew '98 - OST Battle Against Foreman Spike and Oyaji ♪

"Stanley's" Greenhouse Suddenly, an individual with a hammer smacks the Mini Mario out of the Greenhouse!

Heheh! Home run!

He then turns to the unconscious D.K.

Now then, I was fixin' to kidnap all those heroes 'a New Donk City to stop any goody-two shoes from gettin' in 'the way, but this catch'll really blow the Koopa King's socks off!
Jumpman... Green 'Stache... just the two of y'all wait. Because when the time to throw down comes..
...Foreman Spike'll show ya how a real constructor gets the job done!
Foreman Spike
Dastardly New Donk Constructor

Underground Pipeline Zone HYAAAGHH!
Wario, stop!!
Unfortunately for Wario, his Ground Pound misses it's mark as he nearly creates abyss on himself had it not been for Waluigi, who teleports twice, once to retrieve him and twice to bring him back.

Waluigi?
You have to stay back. Pete here's just as bewildered, if not even moreso than us!
What, you can understand that thing?
Wario, it's insensitive to call him a "thing" or use pronouns like "it". He's as equally living as you or me. it's best if we just reason with him.
...You sound oddly familiar with this situation.
That's because I am! I've raised many a Piranha plant! Heck, one even got invited to the Ultimate Tournament!
Wait, that one was yours!?
*ROAR.*
Oh, right.

Waluigi steps forward, approaching Petey. with a serious, yet non-malevolent expression. He opens his arms out.

Petey. It's just us. No one is out to hurt you. If you want, we can help you find your way back home.
I have not agreed to this.
...

Petey extends his wings forward, gesturing signs of peace... then flies away.

...What just happened?
I wouldn't worry about it. Let's just find a way outta here.
*shrug*

Wario and Waluigi proceed walking.

Underground Pipeline Zone Pete... Wh--HEY!!
You were in the way, Waluigi!

Waluigi is knocked to the ground by Wario, who, makes unusually high jumps from side to side before barrelling into Petey Piranha legs first!

*ROAR*
Hahah! Not so tough now, are youu-wwwoooahh!

Petey, unphased, uses one wing to toss Wario aside as he crashes into a pile of bricks.

Wario, stop! He's--
--About to be given a beating!

Wario tries to go for his signature shoulder bash, but Petey uses his wings to create a gust of wind that sends Wario flying through the air.

*SHRIEK*

Petey tries to use this as his chance to dive into the air and hit Wario with a headbutt, but Wario catches him, and turns his body around, giving him proper access to a ground-shaking Piledriver!

Let this be a lesson to you, Piranha Pissant! You mess with the cow...

Upon impact, Wario bounces back into the air, about to Ground Pound the laying down Petey!

YOU GET THE UTTERS! HYAAAGHH!

Underground Pipeline Zone ...Well, if defeating him is as easy as you've made it sound, we shouldn't have much to worry about for the remainder of this tri--

Immediately, a ghastly yet devastatingly loud noise rings out from the cave!

...Wario, did you forget to carry food on you?
S-shut up, you idiot! That wasn't me!
T-then...

Extrememly loud footsteps begin to shake the area around the duo, the sound becoming increasingly loud.

Already!? But I thought that--
Uh... Wario? I don't think that's Bowser...

A amongst the darkness stands nothing but a large shadow, featuring a creature with large teeth, a larger head and in comparison an unusually less large body.

It's...
*DEAFENING ROARING NOISE*
Petey Piranha
Behemoth of the Piranha Plants

Underground Pipeline Zone Waluigi and Wario hop off of a green pipe underground, staring into the dark cave-like settings.

This should be child's play! So far, everything we've encountered has been a breeze!
Yeh! At this rate, beating up Bowser and saving the day'll be child's play!
Yeah, that reminds me. Waluigi... you've beaten Bowser before, right?
Hmmm? What of it?
How?
...

Outside Peach's Castle (20 Years Ago) Waluigi dashes outside the Castle, facing Bowser and some other random Mario character. He appears to have something in a cage.

Wahahah! My name is Waluigi! The Mischief Star Stamp is all mine! And if you want it back, you must name me the Superstar!

Bowser, offended by this bold ransom, approaches Waluigi in point-blank range.

Hey!! No one goes copying my style! Especially not some purple wannabe like you!
Ha! If you've got something to say, then step right up, tough guy!
Oh-hoh, That is it! I'll show you the power of the Koopa King!

Bowser and Walugi engage, creating a large cloud-like heap of dust keeping their actions unseen. Behind it, however, Bowser seems to have Waluigi down for the count.

Alright, you talking beanpole! Gimme one reason why I shouldn't rip you limb-from-limb right now!
I-I'll give you all the money I have!
Don't you dare insult me!! I don't want your chump change!!
Well... how about...

Waluigi whispers to Bowser, who's facial expression changes in the process, also letting Waluigi go in the process.

Ugh... Alright, but you'll owe me big time for this!

On the outside, the dust-cloud is still preventing them from being seen, until it begins to disperse.... with Waluigi's foot in the air, and Bowser laying stomach-first on the ground.

Wahahah! Waluigi number one!

He then turns to the third party member.

Underground Pipeline Zone Waluigi chuckles, toying with his mustache.

...Heh! Nothing a few Poison 'Shrooms couldn't handle!
