A Koopa in Remnant

Starlight

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A powerful explosion thundered and broke the sky and the sound barrier as massive amounts of energy were released in a devastating display of destruction.

Everything within a 10 mile radius was vaporized. Everything within 50 miles was scorched. Everything within 100 miles would have had their eardrums rupture. Everything within 300 miles would have felt the shockwaves.

For this was the true power and devastation of the mighty King Bob-omb.

All the invading Grimm and coincidentally Dino Piranha, who was currently checking his own territory miles away from the secret tunnels, were wiped off the face of the Kingdom. Not even a pile of ashes remained for people to find.

The dust and radiation had begun to settle. While most Atomic Megaton Bombs would leave heavy amounts of radiation that would choke up survivors, King Bob-omb was magic. Where the effects radiation from normal Atom Bombs wouldn't recede for hundreds of years, the radiation from King Bob-omb only lasted for more than an hour. It was quick enough to not leave any lasting permanent damage.

Only two survived the explosion with only minimal harm.

Bowser had curled up into a spike ball to protect the silver-eyed girl with his body, tanking the explosion. Ruby had felt the power of King Bob-omb's explosion and it shook her greatly, leaving her ears ringing.

"Guuggghhh," Bowser groaned as he uncurled from his spike ball form. Ruby groaned from on top the Koopa King's body, holding her head which suffered a pounding headache.

"Ugh, are we alive?" Ruby groaned, winning from the sound of her own voice ringing in her ears. She blinked a few times, before they widened. "Brothers..."

The damage was everywhere. The trees were gone, the grass was practically erased from the ground.

And the mountain? What mountain? There wasn't any mountain. It too was gone.

It was more devastation and cataclysmic than Ruby ever thought she'd ever see. Would ever have to see. It terrified her to think of what would happen if something like this happened to Vale, or all of Remnant.

"*Cough!* *Cough!*" Bowser coughed from under Ruby.

"Professor!" Ruby quickly got off the Koopa King as he sat up. "Are you okay?"

"Ow...everything hurts." Bowser grunted. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I've had worse."

Ruby shuddered to think that may have been true. Bowser got up with a groan and shook the rubble and dust off him. He stretch his body out, mainly his back, as muscles and joints cracked. Bowser let out a relaxed breath, the strain and tenseness gone from his body.

"What's the-ooooooh." He looks around to see the destroyed remnants of Bob-omb Battlefield. "What a mess!"

"A mess..." Ruby gawked at Bowser, and for the first time, she grew mad.

"A MESS?!" She shouted at Bowser, who stumbles back in shock from her outburst. "Professor, this is not a mess!! This is-This is so much more than a dumb, stupid mess!!"

"Hey kiddo, what gives?" Bowser held his arms up defensively.

"What gives?! How can you sound so-so callous!? How can you not care about what just happened?! This isn't some kind of game, Professor!! THIS IS REAL!!"

"Hey hey, calm down!" He put his large claws on her shoulders. Ruby was breathing heavily, her chest and shoulders heaving with each and every angry breath she took. "If this is about the other Bob-ombs, they're all fine. They cause explosions all the time and they instantly reform good as new. See?"
