A Human World Book/Part 14

As they all looked towards the direction where Bowser and Kamek stood, Bowser soon clapped his paws as he said, "Bravo, bravo, an extraordinary performance." Soon he started to slowly walk towards Susie and Melanie with a wicked grin as he added, "And thank you for detaining my victims." "D-d-d-d-don't mention it," Frogger said with a gulp, "Your Highness." Then with a chuckle, Bowser looked at Dogadon and the others and shouted, "BOO!" With that, the others yelped and scattered as they flew up the highest branch of the nearest tree while Dogadon stood in his spot, but soon looked to realize that his friends weren't by his side. Then he looked with a scared face as Bowser stared at him menacingly with a wicked evil grin and a soft chuckle. "Duh, oh no, AAH!! Wait for me!!" Dogadon yelped as he ran to the same tree his friends were perched in and cowered from behind it leaving their four friends alone with the two predators staring at them and prowling closer to them. As thunder echoed through the swampy wasteland, Toadette shouted to Susie, Paula, Melanie, and Togepi, "Run friends, RUN!" "You don't have to tell us twice," Melanie answered as she got prepared to dash, but was puzzled at Susie and Paula standing their ground. "Run?" Susie responded, "Why should we run?" "What are you talking about," Paula added standing by Susie's side. Confused at what Susie just said, the great reptile said, "Why should you run? Could it be possible that you don't know who I am?" As he said this, Kamek circled the four and said with a snarl, "Obviously they haven't my lord." "We know you alright," Susie answered, "You're Bowser." "Precisely," Bowser said as he placed a claw underneath Susie's chin making Paula angry at this display, "Then you should also know that everyone runs from Bowser." "You don't scare me! We won't run from anyone!" Susie said moving Bowser's paw away from him. "You say it!" Paula added standing his ground. As Susie said this, the others looked surprised while Dogadon looked with a nervous posture. "Ash are you crazy!?!" Melanie said, "No one can stand a chance against Bowser!" Snickering, Kamek turned to Susie and said with a sly smile, "If I were you kid, I would take your friend's advice. You'll live longer." "I'm still not gonna run! Someone has to make you pay for what you did to mine and Melanie's families!" Susie shouted. "Ah, you have spirit for one so small," Bowser replied, "and such spirit, is deserving of a sporting chance." Susie and Paula angrily stared at Bowser while Melanie and Togepi were worried for their friends. "Now, I'm going to close my eyes and count to ten, it makes the chase more interesting......for me," Bowser sneered, "One, two, three, four." Soon he and Kamek saw Susie and Paula still standing their ground and made them both irritated. Susie grabbed a blunt stick to hit Bowser with as he said, "You're trying my patience boy!" Soon after, Wendy, Jeff, Linda, Bagheera, Nagini, and Gray showed up in the wastelands and saw in horror that Bowser and Kamek had the four surrounded. "Five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN!" Bowser roared loudly and charged towards Susie. The man cub was now terrified of the attacking cat. But before Bowser could reach Susie. Jeff and Linda spotted Bowser about to attack Susie and grabbed their tail before they could kill Susie. “Run Susie run,” they said as he struggled to hold onto the tail. “LET GO YOU LOSERS,” Bowser demanded as he tried attacking Jeff and Linda. Bowser chased Jeff and Linda in circles. Jeff and Linda held on tightly to the reptile’s tail, but was intimidated by the Bowser’s savage behavior. “Whoa, take it easy, whoa, hold it, hold it, slow down,” Jeff and Linda said quickly, only to meet a savage growl from Bowser, making them even more scared, “whoa, easy, hold it, easy, whoa, whoa, easy.” “He’s got a reptile by the tail you guys,” said Timon. “And he’d better hang on too,” added Toad. Bowser continued chasing Jeff and Linda in circles until finally they let go Bowser and plops to the ground. Susie, although intimidated, tried fighting back. He whacked the reptile with his stick. “Take that you big bully,” she said. “Let him have it kid,” cheered Frogger, “hit him again, kid. Go on.” But this wasn’t doing much, but irritate the reptile more. Bowser chased after Susie, while the flying monkeys throwing coconuts at Bowser, and Rock and his military group charges at Bowser, “Isn't anyone able to help my friend,” exclaimed Wendy. “Come on lads,” said Pumbaa who nudged his fellow others off the tree. The others ran into battle. Pumbaa and Frogger took Susie while Timon said to Jeff and Linda, “he’s safe now. Hahaha, you can let go guys.” “Are you kidding,” replied Linda, “there’s claws in the other end.” Kilik whistles their fingers and the Zingers stings at Bowser, and Tauros stampeding at Bowser. “LET GO, MY FRIENDS NEEDS HELP,” exclaimed Susie who watched the reptile attack. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hit a dead tree, starting a fire. The others landed on the ground and watched the fire spread. Timon came up with an idea. “Fire,” he said, “it’s the only thing green scales is afraid of.” “You get the fire, we’ll do the rest,” added Frogger who proceeded towards Bowser while Susie grabbed a branch on fire.

Bowser charged towards everyone. Susie's friends attacked the reptile from all over. The others also charges into battle. “CHARGE,” they yelled.

“PUNCH AND BLOW,” shouted Pumbaa.

“Stay out of this you mangy fools,” demanded Bowser.

“Yeah, yeah,” teased Timon as he dodged an attack, “missed by a mile.”

Frogger jumped high and lashed out his tongue at Bowser’s eyes, briefly blinding him. Timon and Pumbaa charging towards Kamek, and ramming him in their path. Kilik leaped down into the fight. As Kamek moved in to attack, Kilik jumped into the air and delivered a kung fu performance. He kicked and smacked him that approached. “YEAH, PULL HIS BLINKIN’ EYEBROWS,” exclaimed Timon.

“HE’S A BLOOMIN’ COWARDLY LIZARD,” added Frogger.

Susie finally appeared from behind with the fiery branch. He quickly tied it in the reptile’s tail before Bowser could notice. “Look behind you chum,” Toad said.

Bowser did so, but his anger and rage, turned into shock and horror. He had a branch on fire tied to his tail. He tried taking out the fire with his claws but all this did was burn him. With no way of stopping the fire, Bowser fled the scene as fast as he could. He kept getting burned with each step. The squad followed him, making sure he was getting far from the man cub, but eventually stopped when they realized Bowser had gone far enough. Kamek fled from the scene. The reptile and wizard disappeared from sight as a thunderstorm stopped. As rain came down, the others gathered together on their tree. “Well that’s the last of him,” said Timon.

The others laughed at Bowser’s misfortune. “green scales took off like a flaming comet, he did,” added Pumbaa.

“Well, then let’s go congratulate our friend,” said Timon.

As Susie and Paula saw Bowser and his lackeys disappear into the forest, She turned to Paula and said, "We did it!" "Yes!" Paula cheered as she ran up to Susie and hugged into her arms. As the two hugged each other, and Melanie running up to her and gave a big hug. Then the two shared a romantic kiss on the lips, Melanie said, "That was the single most bravest thing I ever saw anyone accomplish Susie, I'm so proud of you! Even though it was an incredibly stupid and suicidal move, you were brave enough to stand up to him and protect your friends." "Yeah, I guess I did, you were brave yourself Melanie," Susie said happy while looking at Paula who happily embraced her, Wendy sighed in relief. "Nice work, Paula," she said, "We'll never see them around these parts again."

"You're absolutely right, Wendy," Kilik said.

"I agree with Wendy," said Becky, "My friends are a great braveful warriors."

"It's okay, Becky," said Sandra, "at least you made the right choice eventually."

"In fact, I just wanna say well done," said Jeff, "you guys passed the test."

"What test?" asked Becky and Sandra.

“The test of understanding whether or not you people have accepted the friends future in the Man Village,” said Rock, "and I am proud to say that you have done just that.”

"He's right, dear," said Cammy, "now the fearsome reptile is gone, and the land is restored."

Ryu, Chun-Li, Ash and Misty appeared. "Susie," he said quietly.

"Father," replied Susie and Paula as they took Ryu's hands, "I missed you."

"Paula," said a relieved Chun-Li as she embraced with her daughter.

“Wow,” said Pumbaa as he, Timon, and everyone else approached Paula and Susie, “that was really brave.”

“Yee-haw,” cheered Timon.

As they saw this sight, Wendy smiled and said to Kilik, "See Baggy, I told you he's special." "I know he's special," Kilik answered with a smile, "The people practically raised him that way." As the group left with the exception of Dogadon and the others, Toad soon said, "It's gonna be a little dull without the lil blokes isn't it?" "Yeah," Timon said, but turned his attention back to Frogger, "So what are we gonna do?" "I don't know, wha-Hey, now don't start that again!" Frogger said in response. Toadette soon rolled her eyes once more at them and said, "Every day with these guys it's the same thing." Then Dogadon soon shrugged at this with a goofy laugh and said, "Here we go again."
