I'd like to apologise for the chapter, A Perfect World of Fury and Darkness, as I got ahead of myself and made a slight error. I've fixed it so no need for me or you to worry. Anyways, enjoy the new chapter.

Bowser Castle Dungeon

King Boo had the patience of the dead. Granted he was technically dead but still he was extremely patient. Recently he brought in an... unwelcomed guest.

It was a man with graying black, spiky hair, dull red eyes and slight stubble along his jawline. Along with a red, tattered cloak, he wore a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants and black dress shoes. This is Qrow Branwen, intelligence officer for Ozpin and uncle to Yang and Ruby.

When Darkland was busy with their incoming invasion, he managed to sneak in to the kingdom. He fought both Major Burrows and Glamdozer, and somehow won. Mario had some difficulty with both of them in the past, but this guy wasn't entirely different. King Boo had grown interested in him.

So instead of killing him he brought him in and locked him up in the dungeon.
He was aware of the new security it had. It could suppress and negate the abilities a person had. He didn't know if he had any but he wouldn't risk it.

Qrow started to regain consciousness, standing up and looked at his surroundings.

He was in a prison cell of some sort. The walls were made of stone, and there was a purple crystal shard in the center of the room. He felt weak, like his aura had been drained. What happened?

"Well, the fledgling wakes up." King Boo said.

Qrow looked towards King Boo and jumped. He was caught off guard, once again. He remembered that he encountered the Ghost King, but he got the jump on him.

"Either I'm still drunk, or I'm seeing things." He said, rubbing his head.

"Oh you'll start seeing things, if you don't answer my questions. Terrible things, hehehehehe!" He chuckled, his long purple tongue hanging out.

"Where am I? Who are you?" Qrow asked, his tone serious.

King Boo appeared before him at fast speed, causing Qrow to jump back.

"Hahahahahah!! I'm asking the questions here, chicken legs!" King Boo cackled.

That was the new name he came up for the new prisoner. He saw him come in in the shape of a crow, and transformed into a human being.

"Now, your first question." He smirked. "Who sent you? You better answer correctly, or you'll find the results quite shocking." He said, a maniacal grin present on his face.

Qrow handled interrogations before, so he was aware of the repercussions. He wouldn't give him a direct answer.

"My boss, that's all you're going to get." He said.

"Half-truths, hmm? Very well, then!" King Boo said.

His crown lit up with a purple glow, electricity building up. He shot it towards him and Qrow clenched his teeth in pain. This felt way more different than any other electric blast. It felt more...sinister.

King Boo stopped his attack, Qrow panting from the attack.

"Next question. How did you find out about this place?" King Boo asked.

This was an easy one to answer.

"Are you kidding? Everyone saw this whole place fall from the sky. I'd be surprised if no one did." He replied.

King Boo looked satisfied with that answer. He had to admit, the prisoner had a point.

"Who were those people invading our Kingdom?" He questioned further.

"They were the Atlas Military Fleet; Remnant's strongest military force." He replied.

Now King Boo was getting somewhere. The Koopa Fleet managed to drive off this worlds most formidable fleet? He'd have to take note of that. After all, there could be more.

"Now, why are you here? You better not lie." He warned, his crown lighting up again, even brighter.

Qrow did not answer. Ozpin only said that it was for research, yet it felt much more than that.

"From what I was told, it was for research purposes. What the Atlas Fleet wanted was not part of my mission." He replied.

King Boo only stared at him, analyzing his behavior. From what he could tell, he did appear drunk, the smell confirmed it, but he didn't appear to be lying. But then again, he could be messed up and disoriented. He'd have to wait till he was sober for now.

"We're done here,...for now. I'll wait till you're more focused and willing to give me answers." He said, turning around and began to float away.

"You still haven't given me a name, slobbergeist" Qrow stated.

King Boo froze for a moment or two. He slowly turned around, his pearly whites bared. "You may refer to me as King Boo!" He said, sending another blast of purple lightning at Qrow again.

This felt more potent than the last one. He fell on his knees, trying to resist the urge to scream.

Then the attack stopped. Qrow fell on all fours, breathing heavily. His arms felt weak and we're struggling to keep him up.

"You'd do well to respect a royal, chicken legs! Hahahahahaha!!" He shrieked his signature laugh.

Throne Room

Kamek was walking back and forth, pacing as he waited to hear the results from both King Boo and The Magikoopa Mob.

King Boo was the first to report.

"Well?" Kamek asked, hoping for some good news.

"I didn't get much, but I did get some helpful information." He reported.

"What did you get?" He asked.

"Well for starters, the invading fleet that attacked was the Atlas Military Fleet. Apparently, they're they most powerful military power in this world." King Boo said, his tongue hanging it with glee.

"You mean former 'most powerful military fleet?' We crushed them on both land and sky!" Kamek said proudly.

"For an advisor you lack the basic knowledge." King Boo commented.

Kamek turn to him, confused and insulted at the comment.

"What makes you think that was their whole fleet?" King Boo inquired.

Kamek's knees suddenly felt weak. If that wasn't their full fleet, then that would've been bad news. Like 'Bowser reacting to the Bowsette news' bad news. The entertainment room was still recovering from that. He'd take this secret to the grave and beyond, lest he have Bowser dig it for him.

"Anything else?" He said in a nervous, squeaky voice.

"Yes, apparently the person who sent him had him come here for research, but I don't think even he was to sure." King Boo said, his face unsure.

As if Kamek had enough to worry about. He had hoped that the information would prove valuable. But in the end, It wasn't enough.

"I'm currently waiting until he sober's up. He was drunk when I found him." King Boo explained.

"Please continue your investigation. We have to prepare for the worse." Kamek said, his face fallen.

"Of course anything for a friend of the Koopa King." He said and phased through the ceiling.

Kamek chuckled at that word. Friend? He practically raised him. When his father went on the run and his mother pretty much abandoned him, he took him in. If the back pain he suffered all those years ago was anything to go by it. He still took the prescribed pain killers. The pain was gone, but he just got used to them.

Then the Magikoopa Mob came in.

The first on was Wizenheimer, the most evil Magikoopa. The three other ones wore red, green, and white robes. The red one was Whiteston, the green one was Redmond, and the white one was Greenwitch. The two purple robes ones were the only female Magikoopas. The shorter one was the oldest one of them all, Kammy and the very tall one was Kamella.

Kamek was the last member, being the leader and the one closest to Bowser. Well, besides Kammy.

"I hope you have good news because I've had enough bad news for one day" he said, exhausted.

"Well it's news, but it's entirely up to you if it's good or bad." Said Wizenheimer.

"We think we might have found out what went wrong with the spell." Said Greenwitch.

Kamek raised in his brow in interest.

"Listen well because I'm not going to repeat myself! I'm too old to be doing that!!" Said Kammy in a cranky mood. She didn't get the chance to take her pills that would calm her down. No because she was old but because she could get rather violent.

"We've came up with two possible theories. Theory one is that some entity has interfered with the very laws of time and space causing our spell to mess up just for their own benefit to entertain other entities." Kammy suggested.

"..."

"..."

"...Oooor?" Kamek shrugged.

"Some one sabotaged the entire operation." Kamella suggested.

That theory was more plausible than the first one. What can make couldn't understand was why. Why would anyone want to sabotage the King's plan?

"We've talked with some of the workers and found this." Whiteston, holding out a device of a familiar design.

It was Beanish technology. Only one Beanish scientist could've made it and that meant only one thing.

Fawful was alive.

Kamek was flabbergasted, confused, and every other synonym that meant shocked.

"B-b-but how!!? I thought he blew himself up in a final attempt to destroy the Mario Bros.!?" Kamek said, trying to find reason for this whole thing.

"Guess he didn't" said Redmond.

"The device is an Energy Wave Fluctuator. It can overload or drain energy to interfere with technology. It was found on the main generator in the Geothermal Plant" Wizenheimer explained.

Kamek processed the information. Fawful couldn't have survived his own suicide, could he? He wasn't known to have a successor of any kind, so what could this mean? Clearly, there were missing details.

"Well, that's a start. Why don't we just call it a day and head to bed? I've had enough disappointment for the day." Kamek said yawning.

"I'm down with that. After all, a lady needs her beauty sleep." Kammy said.

"She'll need all the sleep she can get, if that's the case." Greenwitch whispered to Whiteston.

"What was that!?" Kammy snapped.

"Nothing!" Greenwitch said quickly, snapping to attention.

The rest of the Magikoopas went to their quarters, leaving Kamek alone with his thoughts.

It had been an exhausting few days for the whole castle. He really just wanted today to be over already.

To be continued

Yeah, life's tough when you're Kamek. But not when you're me. We're getting close to over 400 reads! If we can get to over 500, I'll add two new characters. I'm PangoroGrunt saying see you whenever and Pixar needs to make a Bug's Life 2.
