There are times when it's definitely good to be bad.

Having an evil empire that can enact your every whim while you're frozen is definitely one of them.

SO!

While all of you good guys were busy saving the world... I was busy taking over a small part of it.

With minimal bloodshed, I might add. The best takeovers are the ones that go smoothly.

Anyway, thank you, DATS. I couldn't have done this if my new territory had been deleted like Draco Island was.

Now, the end-of-level bonus points.

ATTENTION! ALL BADDIES, NE'ER-DO-WELLS, AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE GOOD GUYS!

The Koopa Troop has openings, and a lot more living space that we can fill up. Pay's a little light as we're expanding, but we offer dental, vision, and general health insurance. We've got plenty of entry level positions, and a few officer slots too.

If you're interested, let me know!

Also, anyone from DATS, or the cops, or anyone else who wants in to spy? Go ahead. I can still use traitors. A couple just left and it only cost me a little cash, and a little heightened guard duty. I got more than I lost out of that group, just like I'll get more than I lose out of any of you.

Oh? You need lackeys to do your dirty vork? Vhat about someone wit' more experience t'an t'at?

Re: [Audio]

[lvl9finalboss]

As I said, I have officer's slots available.

If you're good enough for it.

But dirty work? That hardly covers it. I have an expanding empire that I need to rule, and I have schemes that must be seen through to fruition. This is full time work with room for the abitious to make a name for themselves.

Re: [Audio]

[the_brains_best]

I am more t'an good enough to be an officer. Give me a test and I shall prove it to you.

Re: [Audio]

[lvl9finalboss]

Ambition is a good start.

I also see that you're up to some sort of evil already. Promising.

Why do you think you're right for my racket, though? There's lots of schools of villainy in this world.

Re: [Audio]

[the_brains_best]

Because you are here, taunting heroes vith your conquest vhile they cannot touch you. I side vith t'ose I see can carry on great evil. Mediocre villains do not interest me.

Re: [Audio]

[lvl9finalboss]

If there's one thing I like, it's appreciatation of good villainy.

You've got your shot. I'll see if you're officer material once we behold how your latest effort plays out.

Re: [Audio]

[the_brains_best]

Very vell. Ve shall speak again later.

[he's still on painkillers, for the record]

[kenkabanchou]

...well.

That's just dandy.

Re: [he's still on painkillers, for the record]

[lvl9finalboss]

Now, now.

You guys do good work.

I just reap the benefits.

MWA HA HA HA!!!

[pressed the button for more meds; why does he have his D-Comm?]

[kenkabanchou]

Oh yeah?

Well.

Your face looks like p-

[blocks Masaru's transmissions to Bowser]

[the12thlevel]

...

Ignore him.

Re: [blocks Masaru's transmissions to Bowser]

[lvl9finalboss]

At least until he's got the brains in his head to make for better banter.

Re: [blocks Masaru's transmissions to Bowser]

[the12thlevel]

Yes, well.

Painkillers.

Re: [blocks Masaru's transmissions to Bowser]

[lvl9finalboss]

Say no more.

I've suffered more defeats than Brand X paper towels or sodas.

I know all about the painkiller haze.

Re: [blocks Masaru's transmissions to Bowser]

[the12thlevel]

Of that I'm certain.

But you've taken more territory.

...good to know, I suppose.

[gokai_red]

Evil empire?

[lvl9finalboss]

Well, I'm not exactly one of the good guys, am I?

[gokai_red]

...

Good to know.

[lvl9finalboss]

Hmmm...

Short-spoken, inquisitive.

Stoic hero, sidekick looking to prove himself, or an anti-hero trying to climb back up to the heroic ranks. Which is it?

[gokai_red]

I ain't stoic, I'd shoot anyone who called me a sidekick, and there aren't any ranks left to climb.

[lvl9finalboss]

The defensive reaction and the overconfidence always sells it.

You're a sidekick without a hero.

Heh heh... Handy to know.

[gokai_red]

Sure, go ahead. Go with that, if you want.

I'll ask you what you think I am again later.

1/2

[lvl9finalboss]

He barely says more than five words in a game and I still can't find someone whose banter is as good as Mario's...

2/2

[lvl9finalboss]

So I can't taunt you easily. That's fine.

I'll deal with you when you actually prove to be worth my time.

[gokai_red]

Sounds good!

I'll keep that in mind, and let you know when would be a good time for that.

[lvl9finalboss]

You're considerate for a do-gooder, I'll give you that much.

[gokai_red]

Until you piss me off, you get a sporting chance.

Seems fair, right?

[allthebottlecaps]

BWHAHAHA ALL HAIL KING BOWSER!

[Attached: stolen cake and twin confetti canons]

We just wanted to say sir it's been an honor and a privilege to be in your employ all this time.

Yeah! It's like we got in the ground floor!

[lvl9finalboss]

You SEE?

THIS is what I like in a minion.

Speaking of being in my employ all this time... You're going to need to pick out your castle down here.

With the expansion, I have new openings for bosses.

[allthebottlecaps]

A-a boss?! Really?!

Our own castle?! Oh WOW! Thank you Lord Bowser!

[lvl9finalboss]

Your own castle.

Your own minions.

Your own plans for traps.

Your own schemes so long as they don't run counter to mine.

You own responsibility when things go wrong. Heh heh heh...

[allthebottlecaps]

Oh thank you Lord Bowser! Team Rocket has risen once again!!!

When things go wrong...?

BWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[lvl9finalboss]

You're gonna have to manage your budget, though. I've seen your plans in the works.

Too many of them will blow through your operating fund in a month, and if you can't replenish it, I'm NOT helping you out.

[speedfreaktweak]

No. Freaking. Way.

[lvl9finalboss]

Yes.

All the way.

[speedfreaktweak]

You're THE Bowser? As in, end of level, big boss, king of the koopas, shouldn't hang around bridges Bowser? Mind BLOWN! I've been playing those games since I was a kid!

[lvl9finalboss]

The original if you don't count the ape. The longest reigning baddie. The measuring stick for all future villains to grace game consoles. The one, the only.

KING BOWSER KOOPA!

Hold the applause.

[speedfreaktweak]

[Applauds anyway, at super speed]

Howlonghaveyoubeenhere?Ismarioheretoo?Whataboutyourgoombas?Oryourkids?Where'sthelastworldIwannasee!!!

[lvl9finalboss]

I've been here for four releases.

Mario's gone, and I curse the tree every day for it.

I have minions, no kids at the moment.

And when have I EVER revealed the last world to anyone without their earning it?

[speedfreaktweak]

Warp Pipe.

Re: [Audio]

[lvl9finalboss]

And again, you need to find those before you find world eight.

Heh heh.

Re: [Audio]

[speedfreaktweak]

I...

...

Well played Lord Bowser. Well played.

[classybatburglar]

Hello, your majesty.

I enjoyed the presents you left me. It almost made it not like taking candy from a baby.

[lvl9finalboss]

You see? I'm going to miss that.

You ever decide to come back, the doors will be open.

There will be a readmittance fee, of course.

[classybatburglar]

Hm, I don't think I shall. I think it's time I returned to going solo~

[lvl9finalboss]

By all means.

Just don't get in my way. I don't take past service into account when it comes to mercy.

You know, if it comes to it.

[classybatburglar]

Wouldn't expect anything less from you.
