Goombario's Log Day 66: Today's the day. We're finally here. The end is in our future. We've reached the end of Bowser's Castle now. All that remain, is the final bout with Bowser. This is it we've go.......

in the room with the final Bowser HeadKoopa Bros: Alright Mario, time to end this fight once and for all!Goombario: You think we're going to let you win so easily? Kooper: We beat you once.Bombette: And we'll beat you again.Koopa Bros: Go ahead. Nothing, and I mean nothing can stop us now! AHahahaaaa......then, Jr. Troopa comes in and knocks the Koopa Bros. awayParakarry: OH COME ON MAN!!! 

Bow: GIVE IT A REST DUDE!!! 

Watt: GET OUT OF OUR SIGHTS!!! 

Sushie: CRAWL BACK INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!!! 

LESTER: GO TOUCH GRASS YOU MORON!!! 

Jr. Troopa: Never! I won't stop until I've defeated Mario once and for all. And now, I've come up with a brand new move you'll never defeat! pulls out his wand Behold! puts up a magic shield around him Try and hit me now punks!

Goombario: I normally don't believe in homicide, but, kill this son of a broozer guys.Rest: No objections here. Attack!everyone attacks Jr. Troopa, but their attacks just bounce offAll: What!?Jr. Troopa: Ha ha! You fools! I am invincible!Kooper: Wait, Mario! Use the Star Spi... Mario?Mario: casually steps out of the room signaling to them, 'You're on your own' before closing the doorBow: Great. Just great.Watt: What do we do now?Bombette: thinking I got it. Kooper! You and I are going to use our Fire Bomb move on Jr., but this time I'm going to use Mega Bomb for higher explosion damage.Kooper: What!? You've seen just how powerful our attack was with just Power Bomb.Goombario: Using Mega Bomb in conjunction could create an explosion nearly 10x the size! Bombette: We have to try. Kooper, are you with me? 

Kooper: ... *nods* To the very end. Go!

Bombette rushes to Jr. and begins charging up for Mega Bomb 

Jr. Troopa: Ha! You think you can blow up my shield? You're not strong enough to do that.

Bombette: You're right. But not on my own. Kooper! Now!*Kooper uses Fire Shell and rams into Bombette. One second, quiet. The next, a massive rumble is felt all throughout the castle inside and above. Windows shatter, bricks crumble, guards are left in shock* 

Koopatrol: What's happening!? 

Hammer Bro: Is it an earthquake! 

Goomba: But that's impossible! We're in the sky!

suddenly, the shaking stops. Inside the castle, all is quiet.Goombario, Karry, Bow, Watt, Sushie, and Lester: groaning in pain after bracing for impact 

Sushie: Everyone ok?

Watt: I, think so.Karry: hacking in painBow: I'm dead and I still felt that pain. But wait, where's Kooper and Bombette?the five look around and see the two against a wall and rush over 

Lester: Kooper! 

Watt: Bombette!

Kooper and Bombette gain consciousnessBombette: D-did we do it? 

Karry: Well, considering there's now a Jr. Troopa sized hole in the wall over there, I'd say you got him.

Bow: But what about you two? Are you ok?Kooper: coughing Depends. How much gunpowder are you legally allowed to inhale before it becomes deadly? 

Bombette: I'd say 0%.

Kooper: Then I'm all good.Bombette: chuckles Why do you have to be such a goofball after we both almost died?Kooper: What can I say, I'm just an upbeat Koopa through and through. takes off his bandana Here. Let me rub all that soot off your body. wipes Bombette down cleanBombette: smiles back 

Kooper: You know, I've been thinking. After that whole fiasco with Bruce, I wanted to do whatever I could to cheer you up. You needed a family to make you feel better, rather than someone else trying to be 'the next Bruce'. At the time, I was perfectly fine calling you my sister, because that's what you needed the most at that point. Now though, I'd like to, slightly alter that status.

Bombette: You don't have to say it. Because, I've been thinking the same thing too. Romance is tough, and it was something I'd rather not deal with. But having gone on this adventure with you and everyone else has taught me something. And it's that I want to spend the rest of my life with someone who cares about me, while also keeping my feelings at hand. And there's nobody else I'd want to be with, then you Kooper.Kooper: smiles So, does this mean we're in an 'official' relationship now, or are we still in that transitional phase of we're best friends but there are probably some underlying feelings we have towards each other that over time wi...Bombette: kisses Kooper Shut up you big dummy. smilesKooper: returns the kiss backLester: seriously trying to hold back tearsKarry: Are you, sweating through your eyes Lester? 

Lester: ... No! I'm just crying! cries tears of happiness. Also unknowingly uses Bow's fan as a tissue

Sushie: Ah. I love happy endings. Now let's make it one more by saving the Princess.Watt: Hold up everyone. What happened to Goombario? He was right here with us.Bow: Actually, you're right. Where is he?Goombario: I'm right here. walks in I'm ok, but I can't say the same for these. shows them the now burned journals after the explosionRest: gaspsGoombario: Once you guys exploded, our journals must have gotten launched out of my bag and the embers must have burned them. Almost all of the pages are completely destroyed now and illegible.Bombette: I-I'm sorry guys. It was my idea to...Goombario: Bombette, don't blame yourself. You knew it was the right thing to do when we had no other choice. I should have kept them all more safe. Now it looks like all our memories are gone with the wind.Kooper: But, what about your story? You said you'd catalogue our stories.Goombario: Well without the material anymore and with everything's that's happened to us now. Writing all of that without a guide is impossible now. 

everyone looks down in sadness 

Goombario: Look, let's not get upset right now. We have a world to save. No burned memories can get in our way. Let's just go beat Bowser, and save the day. Together.

Rest: Together.to be concluded
