Mario and Godzilla: The Planet Eater

Bilusaludo rebellion/Mario talks to Bowser

Back at the Aratrum, Peach tries to think of Mario's "punishment".

Computer A: Aratrum maintaining orbit. Due to Bilusaludian boycotts, gravitational coil output has decreased.

Peach: We really should think about going down there, Toad. We don't have a lot of time for this ship.

Toad: But Peach, we still haven't decided Mario's punishment.

Peach: Toad, we're not punishing Mario. For once, Bowser was telling the truth, at least that's what I believed. I may have doubted both of them, but I want to congratulate them personally. That's why i'm going down there.

However, before Toad could object, the alarm goes off. Dolu-Do appears on the screen, and delivers a message.

Dolu-Do: Attention, Princess Peach, and all members of the Central Committee. Because of you're weak response to recent events, the Bilusaludo have no choice, but to use brute force to sway you to do as we demand!

Dolu-Do reveals to Peach and Toad the killed crew of the gravitational coil engine, and the Bilusaludo running it.

Dolu-Do: As we mourn our fellow comrades and MechaGodzilla, we insist Captain Mario be held responsible for his actions! Until the demand is met, we will cut all power sources in the Aratrum!

Dolu-Do even shuts off communication, but foolishly leaves one landing ship running.

Peach: Dolu-Do. You really go this far?

Toad: The Bilusaludians are already a minority in the committee, and to explain the events in MechaGodzilla City would cause a backlash. Computer B, backup status?

Computer B: Operational. However, the limit is 48 hours.

Toad: Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, you guys will be in charge. Me and Peach are going down to Earth.

Peach: Wait, we can't abandon these people.

Toad: Princess, we'll bring a few down there with us. Trust me, you'll thank me. Also, Toads, call the security team to get the engine room.

Peach: What?! But that'll make the situation worse!

Toad: This is a mutiny, Princess! You're right, we're not punishing Mario, we're punishing the Bilusaludo! If we give in to their threats, we would hand over our freedom, EVEN our lives to them!!

Peach backs down, understanding, before heading to the only functioning landing ship.

A few hours later, Mario looks over Daisy's body, before Bowser comes in.

Bowser: Hey.

Mario: Hey, Bowser.

Bowser: Um, how you doing now.

Mario: Bowser, Bleck has gone mad now. I don't understood him.

Bowser: Well, since he believes in religion, I guess he's on his right path. I mean, you gotta admit, it's one of the greatest kinds of propaganda. Everyone lost hope after seeing MechaGodzilla get defeated, twice. And honestly, I did too. I guess I was just angry before. It makes sense to claim to a god to escape the despair. But, I consider it denial, which is why I'm no holy guy.

Mario: Should we stop him?

Bowser: Ehhh, whether it's good or bad, I mean you don't have the right to say it now.

Mario: Wait, what?

Bowser: I mean, not even I could tell them it's bad anymore. Bleck twisted the events of Godzilla's fight with MechaGodzilla, from your liability issue, to some miracle. And now, you're position has changed. Captain Mario, a once trustworthy leader to an altarpiece. Everyone will now blindly worship you, but never ask your opinion. They'll only accept Bleck's words as the truth. He's taking your place as their leader now. It's called religious life.

Mario: Huh. But, uh, was that what you were here to say, or did you need me?

Bowser: Oh, yeah. It's not exactly me, but.....Peach came down to Earth, saying she needed to speak to you.

Mario: Peach is here?! Why?

Bowser: I don't know! She came down out of nowhere!

Meanwhile, the cult has build an altar.

Paraplonk: Here, a new altar, where we can gather and prey. Now, let us honor God! Offer up your prayers, and believe in miracles! Through devotion, God will give us his blessings and salvation. May Garbetrium's guidance be with us forever and always.

As Paraplonk makes his speech, Bleck sits on a mountain, similar to the one he fell on years ago. He begins to remember the day he met her....when he fell off of that mountain. He tried to kill himself just to escape the despair of his father, who wanted him to be like him. He begins to tear up, looking at the Garbetrium crystal.

Bleck: (sighs) I-I miss her.....but she will be avenged. And we'll be reunited soon.....

The crystal makes a chittering noise as Bleck looks at the Garbetrium bead he made.
