The Rise of Antowser, King of Nightmares Ch. 4

Chapter 4
The Impending Nightmare

Everyone in the kingdom was deep in slumber, even those in Dark Land were away in Dream Land…all except for Bowser who was still awake in his bedroom. He kept grunting to himself and sat down on his bed. He was rubbing his temples once again trying to get a grip on himself.

“Mrrggg…everyone in the castle is asleep except for me…” Bowser was tapping his foot on the floor while trying to still think of a plan, but he was getting quite tired. His eyelids were getting heavy for him to even concentrate, and he let out a hearty yawn. “Guess it’s time I get some shut eye…”

Bowser then got up and climbed on into his king sized bed. It was quite sturdy for such a heavy koopa like himself to be laying in. He pulled the purple sheets over him, placed his large claws behind his head and looked up at his ceiling. “Hmph…” he grunted as he fell asleep.

As he slept, the moonlight that was shining through his window slowly faded away as dark purple clouds started to form in the skies around the castle. The beautiful light from the moon and stars was completely blocked away from Dark Land. Thunder had begun to sound throughout the area, but no one was awake to see what was going on.

The little purple bat soon made its way to Bowser’s balcony window, and it then reformed back into its muscular form again.

“Hmhmhmhm…” chuckled the dark, vampire like being as he then held the Dark Stone, opened his gaping maw and swallowed the whole thing in one big gulp. He then felt such strong power surging through him as its power was becoming a part of him. He then turned into a purple gas and slipped under the window and reformed back to his muscular self again.

“So it seems the king has finally gone to sleep…tsk, tsk. I vas looking forvard to giving him a proper scare before I could…vait…” he then had a really dark idea.

“Hehehehehe…the fool is asleep…this is too easy…” He floated over to Bowser and placed his big hand over the koopa’s head and a dark cloud covered over his eyes and forehead. It covered up to just above his snout. “Hmhmhmhmhmhm…pleasant ‘dreams’…Your Majesty…” He said as he gave a wide grin.

In Bowser’s dream, Bowser was at a wedding ceremony in his castle with Princess Peach being his bride. He was wearing a white tux while Peach was in her white wedding dress with the veil over her face holding a beautiful bouquet of white flowers. Mario and Luigi were in a cage all tied up and struggling to free themselves. Bowser and Peach were at the altar as Kamek was saying the usual question at the end that the bride and groom would answer.

“Bowser, Koopa King of Dark Land, do you take Princess Peach to be your lawfully wedded wife?” asked Kamek.

“I do!” said Bowser with such pride and happiness. The congregation, full of koopas, goombas, boos, bob-ombs, his children and the rest of his army, were applauding for his response.

“And Peach, Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, do you take King Bowser to be your lawfully wedded husband?” asked Kamek.

“I do.” said Peach in her usual soft tone.

“Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.” said Kamek who now had a tear of happiness going down passed his glasses.

Everyone was applauding loudly with such happiness. Things were going so well for the koopa king.

Bowser then turned to the princess as she turned to him. He then went ahead to move the veil from in front of her face to go ahead and kiss her.

“This is it!” he thought to himself as he moved the veil to find…the princess’ face was purple with yellow eyes that had black snake like pupils in it.

“What the…?!” Bowser felt shocked from the horrible look his bride had.

“Oh vhat’s the matter, Bowser…? Don’t you vant to kiss your new vife?” Peach’s tone had changed drastically.

“Yes, Bowser…time to kiss the bride…” Kamek’s voice appeared to have changed as well to the same tone Peach had. His whole face was also purple with his glasses shining yellow with the black snake like pupils as well.

“Kiss…kiss…kiss…” The whole congregation was chanting these words towards Bowser. All of them…purple…with the same devilish eyes…

“What…what’s going on here?!” Bowser stepped back from the princess only to bump into the Mario Bros. who were also in the same colors as everyone else. “Gah!”

“Vhere do you think-a you’re going, Bowser…?” said Mario.

“Yeah, you can’t leave out on your special day, now can you…?” said Luigi.

A dark purple mist started to envelop the floors. Bowser had had enough of what was going on. “Alright! ENOUGH!!! What is the meaning of this?!”

No one replied. They all were just glaring at him with the same creepy, devilish eyes.

“I SAID WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!?!” roared Bowser.

“………get him.” said Peach with in an even darker tone with red eyes.

Everyone in the congregation then stood up with all of their eyes turning red and started to slowly move towards Bowser.

Bowser started to sweat nervously and backed away from everyone. “St-stay away from me, you fools!”

Suddenly Mario lunged and tackled him from behind causing him to fall down forward. “Grawr! Get off of me, you pesky, fat plumber! How can you be so heavy?!” Bowser then shook him off and tried to escape out the doors. He opened it to find only a purple and black swirling dimension outside of it.

“Grrrrr! What’s happening!?” He then turned around to see everyone still approaching him rather slowly. “ENOUGH!!!” Bowser then leaped up to where he was with the princess and blew a big cloud of fire everywhere. He torched everything including the flowers, decorations, everything. Soon there was nothing left but burned remains. Everyone seems to have vanished away in his fire breath cloud.

“Grruurrgg…haaaggghhhh…urrggghhh…got them all…” Bowser huffed as he was trying to catch his breath.

“Oh did you really…?” said a familiar voice.

“Huh?! Show yourself!” roared Bowser.

“Gladly…” A large purple cloud soon covered over the whole congregation area and it transformed into a giant gaseous version of that familiar being…that one he betrayed long ago…

“Antasma…! So you’re behind this!” said an enraged Bowser.

“Hehe…long time, no see, Your Majesty…” Antasma said as he crossed his muscular arms while looking down at the confused, yet angered king.

“What are you doing here in MY dreams?!” Bowser was completely unamused by the little act that was created by Antasma.

“Hmhmhmhmhm…just thought I’d haff a little fun before I haff my revenge on you…”

Suddenly Bowser’s body was starting to get covered in the dark shadows that were coming up from the burned castle floors.

“Nnnnggggghhh…why do I feel…so weak…?” He groaned as he fell back on his shell. “I…can’t move…”

Antasma didn’t say anything as he backed away from Bowser slowly his eyes turned red, his maw opening up with razor sharp teeth showing. He then lunged towards Bowser emitting an ear splitting scream as the castle was falling apart around him.

“GRRRAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!” Bowser woke up sweating to find his wrists and ankles were held by dark tentacles emerging from his floor. The dark cloud had vanished from around his head.

“GAH! NO! RELEASE ME!!!” He tried to struggle from the tentacles’ grasp, but he had no luck.

“How did you enjoy your ‘dream’…?” Antasma was floating there at the foot of the bed looking strong and powerful with his thick arms folded.

“Grrrr…how are you here?! I thought the Mario Bros. destroyed you!” growled Bowser.

“I vondered the same thing myself…it seems my spirit vas still able to cling on into this vorld…” Antasma closed his eyes and turned to the left “but alas…I no longer haff a body…that is…” He then opened his eyes and glared at Bowser with an evil grin. “…until now…”

“WHAT?!” Bowser’s eyes had widened in fear as if he knew what was going to happen. “NO WAY!”

“Hmhmhmhm…this isn’t a choice for you, Your Majesty… Just think of it…as punishment for betraying me in the past…You’ll be getting exactly vhat you so richly deserve…” said Antasma.

“You’re still on that?! GET OVER IT!!! I tricked you because I work with no one! I go alone with no one else! I’M KING BOWSER!!!” roared Bowser.

“My…such temper…” Antasma chuckled to himself as he turned towards Bowser again. “Vell then… I guess it’s time I got vhat I came here for…”

Four dark tentacles had emerged out of the floor, and they stretched towards Bowser’s mouth. The tips tucked themselves into his mouth and forced him to open up despite him trying to keep his maw closed.

“GURK!” His tongue was wiggling a little as his maw was now fully opened showing his uvula in the back of his throat.

Antasma then started to transform into a black, goo like version of himself. He was becoming a big puddle of black goo on the floor. Soon a long head started to stretch out of the goo with the evil glowing eyes and devilish smile.

“YOUR BODY VILL NOW BE MINE!!!!!!” Antasma roared as his goo head stretched higher and started to lunge towards Bowser’s maw soon filling it up with his black substance.

Bowser could do nothing but stare in horror as he felt this slick, slimy beast force itself down his throat. Big bulges were pressing against his throat one after another causing him to gulp loudly against his will. He grunted and tried to move, but couldn’t budge at all. Those tentacles were holding his wrists and ankles tightly. His belly started to swell outward as the goo Antasma was still forcing himself down his throat.

“GULP! GULP! GULP!” Bowser still felt this horrible sensation for a few minutes as the last of the goo Antasma went down his throat. His belly was quite swollen and full now as it began to groan and slosh loudly. The dark tentacles had vanished off his ankles and wrists.

“Nngggggghhh! Get out of my belly!” roared Bowser who began punching his belly to force Antasma out, but it didn’t do any good. The sound of thunder started to get louder as rain was pouring down outside. Purple lightning was seen sparking in the dark clouds outside.

“Agggghhhhhh!” Bowser crawled out of his bed and was laying on his side, gripping his belly in pain. A few bumps and kicks were felt in it as the dark being inside made its face bulge out in the king’s stomach as it began its dark work.

“Urrrrgggghhhhh…it hurts…Gwoh?!” Bowser felt a strange sensation in his right claw. He got on his feet slowly and held his wrist with his left claw and saw what was happening. His eyes widened with fear as another finger grew out of his claw resulting in five fingers. His nails reshaped from his normal nails to pointy human like nails. His whole hand started to swell up a little as a shade of purple began to develop and cover over his palm and fingers.

“No…NO…!” The same thing was happening with his other hand. The purple color soon started to spread up his arms making his scales transform into a smooth, soft skin. The ridges in his chest plate soon start to swell outward until no more ridges were there as a light purple color started to spread around on his now soft belly and chest along with a belly button forming.

“This…can’t…be…!” Bowser said as he fell down onto all fours. More changes were happening as his tail stretched longer and thicker, turning purple with the two spikes in it sinking into his now fleshy tail until they were gone. His legs stretched and swelled with muscles while becoming covered in the same purple color his hands were. His arms swelled with mass as his shoulder bracelets broke off due to the muscle enlargement along with his neck bracelet. His wrist bracelets turned to a shining purple color.

“I…can’t…let him…no…!” The purple color spread to his feet which started to swell and thicken up, his feet pads pushing outward and becoming part of his soles as they, along with his under toes, turned light purple. He also grew two more toes resulting in five like his fingers and his nails also turned from his normal nail style to the pointy human like toenails.

“…CURSE YOU, ANTASMA!!!” Bowser soon felt a really sharp pain up his back.  GAAAAARRRRGGGG!!! What the…?! NO!” He knew what was next. His shell… The spikes in it started to recede down as the shell started to merge with his back. “GARGG BWAAAAA! NOT MY SHELL!!!” He had tears start to run down his cheeks. It was quite brutal even for a ruthless king such as him to start to cry. His shell became engulfed by the purple color most of his body was already in and soon it looked like a big hump on his back until it quickly pushed itself into his back making a loud crackling sound as his back was now in a human shape.

“GAAAAAHHHH!!! I…can’t…let…you…win…!” Bowser was trying to fight back to try to keep his composure, but he could feel himself starting to slip away from the grip of his body. His mouth and snout and become covered in light purple as his head soon joined the rest of his body in the purple color. His eyebrows and hair turned dark purple while his hair started to grow out longer and across his back. His horns had turned from their natural color to white along with the base of the horns turning purple. The Dark Stone started to emerge and push outward from the middle of his chest until only the front of it was visible. A small dark purple diamond swelled out in his forehead as he was almost completely taken over. Bowser had his eyes squinted as a black color covered around his eyes. He opened his eyes and his pupils were shaking violently as they started to shift from normal to snake like and the white around them to yellow.

“GRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Bowser roared as the last bit of his mind lost control, and his voice became a lower, darker version with a little mixture of Antasma’s voice in it. His vision was getting covered by darkness until he saw nothing. His eyes transformed fully from his normal red eyes with white around to snake like pupils with yellow around. He then fell onto his side with his eyes closed and laid there for a few minutes. His belly sloshed and groaned as it laid out all swollen and full. Big bulges formed and pressed against the belly skin as they moved around slowly as if they were looking for something. They soon faded back in as the koopa laid there unconscious.

Later, the transformed koopa then slowly got up and was now standing on his thicker feet. He then opened his dark, evil eyes and looked down at his thick hands. He bald them up and opened them again loving how they felt. He gave an evil grin with his now vampire like teeth.

“Mmmmmmmmm…this vill do nicely…” he said with his new dark tone. He then placed a hand over his swollen gut. “Hmhmhmhmhm…seems now…your body is your own prison, fool…” A familiar face and claws had developed in his gut, and it could do nothing but mutter low growls.

“Mmmmmmmmmm…that feels good…but I don’t need you to be doing that all the time…” The purple koopa then pushed his hand further into his gut and it started to ripple, groan and bubble up, big bulges swelling as the face in the belly became warped and was forced back in. Soon the belly shrank down into tight, strong and powerful light purple abs.

“I told you I vas here to get vhat I vanted…and I’m not done… You vere just vone of the things I vanted…” He tried to wiggle his fat toes and move his legs to get used to having feet and legs since he never had them before. “Mmmph…this may take some time getting used to…but I can manage…hmhmhmhm…”

“Und just so there is no vay for you to reclaim your body…” He then focused his magic as darkness started to swirl around him. It started to swirl higher and pierced into his back on both of his shoulder blades. He roared as dark bat wing marks appeared on his back, one on each shoulder blade. As he finished, the darkness faded away with his new marks permanently marked on his new body as a seal on Bowser’s soul.

He then used his dark magic to add a few more customizations on his new body. He pierced his left horn with a dark purple horn ring, fabricated some dark purple shorts with a light purple fire pattern on the lower half, and created a long, dark cape around his neck based off of his original form which had a bat brooch and torn ends.

“Hmhmhmharharhar…now this I like…” He admired himself as he created a mirror to look at his new body. “Grawrharharharharhar…this feels awesome…haffing such pover…” he said in his deep, gruff voice admiring his beefy muscles.

He made the mirror vanish away, walked outside and stood out on the balcony. The rain had already let up, but the dark clouds were still bellowing over Dark Land, thunder still roaring in the distance. His dark cape blowing in the wind as he stood strong and tall, he lifted up his hands and chuckled evilly.

“There is no more Bowser…und there is no more Antasma… All shall fear me…all shall know the true meaning of fear…und all shall know und fear the name of the King of Nightmares, Antowser!!! GRAWRHARHARHARHARHARHARHARHAR!!!!!!!!”

With all of Bowser’s mind totally taken over and the power of the Dark Stone a part of him, Antowser, the King of Nightmares, has declared that all shall know and fear his name. Is Princess Peach’s nightmare going to become a reality…? Will the Mario Bros. be able to stand up towards this new, dark threat…?
