#Second Shroob Invasion

[doodlebob54]

Ok, part 2 of the single father Au

Ben is extremely missing his partner, and sometimes wonders what would happen if they didn't die. Also, when i said Ra1ey is sheltered and spoiled, i meant that she never exited the moon base she has no clue about the outside world as Ben is too scared to lose another person he cares about (to people's surprise) he usually brings her stuff from earth like a souvenirs, Ra1ey wasn't allowed to leave the moon base until she was 18 but only with assistance she finds it annoying. Sasha is looking after them, but as a ghost, they do torment Veenie because they helped in killing them. Ra1ey sneaked out of the base at least twice, and her first interaction was with Fawful ( because Sasha intertwined with the events of Second shroob invasion, Fawful gets to keep the worm in his brain so he becomes the only one Ra1ey can talk to.) Ra1ey only knows the shroob language and its hard for her to meet other earthlings, she sees them as these funny looking creatures and views them as accessories, she only somewhat respects Fawful and that's because a) he can understand her and b) he knows what happens to their other parent. Fawful didn't spear the details about how Sasha and ben met. Ra1ey does develop some resentment towards her Dad because he never told her she had a mom. She doesn't tell her dad that she knows as she is afraid of the consequences that it may bring. She pretty much pretends that she doesn't know anything about having a second parent. She waits for her dad to tell her about her mom himself. She extremely hates Veenie and Gagen for causing the death of her other parent.

Okay. This is going to be an extremely weird question, especially since I have the opposite mario alien tism

How would orbulon react to the shroobs :0 I'm just curious

NOT WEIRD i fucking love thinking about warioware's connection with the Greater Mario Universe, which I am also unhealthily obsessed with. In fact I'll do you one better:

ORBULON'S RANKINGS OF VARIOUS ALIENS IN THE MARIO SERIES*

*Not including things that are only aliens by virtue of being in mario galaxy

Shroobs

Going to talk about them as a collective here (so this includes all shrooboids and shroobsworths and whatnot), but first of all I fucking love the shroobs. I think the concept of a fungus alien that weaponizes mycorrhizae is ingenious, and their blank little gaping mouth expression is hilarious. THAT BEING SAID, orbulon would be a little less receptive to them. Given that he's been trying to take over the world for 1000 years, and they almost conquered it in like 2 seconds, he would probably be scared shitless. 0/10 too scary

Tatanga

A lot of people ask me about this one. "Would tatanga and orbulon be buddies? They are both aliens that worked for wario!" And to that I say no. Yes, they are both diminutive little aliens bent on conquering the world. However, so are Shroobs. Not only would orbulon be similarly intimidated by someone way more competent at doing so than his lazy ass, but tatanga, notably, does NOT respect women - he kidnapped the resident red-haired girl to try and force her to become his bride, something that would not fly with orbulon given that he is best friends with a red-haired girl and is also occassionally one himself. Furthermore, while Orbulon works for Wario because Wario offered him a place to stay in his hour of need and they are friends, Tatanga worked for Wario because he was really mad that their mutual enemy stopped him from forcing someone to become his bride. (This was also during Wario's evil phase, so he didn't really care about that as long as Mario got walloped. Which he didn't. Good going, Tatanga.) Fortunately, Orbulon never had to cross paths with tatanga due to my pet theory that he was asleep for the entirety of Super Mario Land. 2/10 incel

X-Nauts

You may be sensing a pattern here. This is another one that Orbulon is not a fan of, but this is also one that he's actually around for. Unlike the invasion of the Shroobs, which he was around for but not invested in Earth beyond a potential conquest yet, or the invasion of Tatanga, which he was asleep for and didn't find out about until he woke up to a million missed notifications on his dashboard about Unknown Spacecrafts Near You, this happened around the events of Warioware Touched (if you decide to view mario games as happening concurrently with wario games released at the same time, which is a fun thought exercise if you ignore enough things.) SO, if we arranged the timeline just so, we could pretend that he had an experience like this:

1/10 their advancements in synthetic organisms are fascinating

Squirps

There is absolutely no chance of Squirps and Orbulon interacting or having interacted. Which is a shame, because they'd probably get along better than most aliens on this list. Squirps would probably regard Orbulon as a weird old man, despite technically being at most half a century younger than him. Orbulon would think he was a cute kid but likely be overwhelmed by his energy as Squirps runs laps around him (similar to Kat and Ana). 7/10 just make sure he doesn't bite you

E.C.

10/10 they go out for drinks every friday

🍄Day 19: AU🍄

-love and tragedy, hand in claw-

I made a cool little AU! Fawful and the spilled Tea!

Thanks so so much to @aliencatwafers for inspiring me to make this AU...a few days ago she drew the concept of what Minty as a shroob would look like, and after thinking about it some more at 2am, BAM! Stayed up until morning coming up with a what if scenario if the story elements of Wafer's Second Shroob Invasion and Minty Frazzles was combined. It all starts with Minty getting shroobified, thus renamed to M1ทt33! Their earth nickname is Tea.

A uhhh short plot synopsis and details are in order!

It all starts off normally when Minty and Fawful are hanging out. They've been friends for quite some time now, he thought about finally confessing his feelings to her, but then the second shroob invasion starts. With the two having witnessed the first invasion years ago, panic ensues. The shroobs originally intended to capture Fawful to shroobify him due to his very high intellect but Minty ends up getting captured instead.

Now with no recollection of her past, M1ทt33 carries on as part of the shroob army until Fawful finds them. Wanting the love of his life back, to undo his guilt, he manages to drag her back to his base. But with Tea's lost memories, empathy to the shroobs, and false backstory that they've been feeding to her, it's difficult for Fawful to get her back to her normal self. Let alone having the information necessary to know if he can even undo this in the first place. Did I mention this is all happening in the middle of an invasion?

Despite this stranger dragging them to a place they've never seen before, M1ทt33 swears this all feels so familiar. More memories start to come back to her as the plot goes on, but things get complicated...even though Tea IS Minty, Tea has become her own being too. Born from horrible means...does she have a right to even exist?

It's all so tragic I know, but deep down I know there's a good ending somewhere...

I don't really plan to do anything HUGE with this btw, it was just a fun concept to make that i love talking to Wafers about!

Shroob Invasion AU

Somehow the Shroobs have returned and are out to take over the world and get revenge on the Mario Bros for their defeat in Partners in Time. And since the Crew is still recovering from Puzzlevision, the military is...themselves, and Peach is still a monster at the bottom of a demon flesh pit, the Mushroom Kingdom is wholly unprepared to fend them of when they first arrive.

...What, not everything needs some long-winded preamble.

Some important notes:

The Shroobs are studying the Creep Pit and using that research to improve their shroob mutant creation process (you know stuff like Yoob and the Tashroobas that one Wiggler boss? Yeah now imagine shroobified versions of meme and crossover characters. Now imagine them with demonic bonus features!!!)

Mario, SMG4, Meggy, Saiko, Shroomy and Boopkins were captured by the Shroobs during the initial attack. Shroomy, Boopkins and 4 were used in the Shroob-Creep hybrid experiments, with Shroomy and Boopkins getting fully Shroobified while 4 only got half-mutated and escaped.

Luigi is completely missing and only Mario knows where he is, which terrifies the Shoobs given how instrumental he was to their defeat last time. So they're torturing Mario for information in a dungeon but he's giving them absolutely nothing.

There's currently only one Princess Shroob, but Shroob Culture Stuff demands there always be two. Fortunately, they've found a solution that also doubles as psychological torture for Mario since physical obviously isn't working; slowly transform Meggy, via gradual mutation and brainwashing, into a second Princess Shroob.

Due to this arrangement Meggy's cell is more of a luxury suite that she can't leave, with Saiko forced to be her attendant via a shock collar that goes off if either of them steps out of line.

The Shroobs also managed to get their hands on Melony's Fierce Deity Mask, but it refuses to function for any of them so it's just sitting in a vault

(I do plan on having Meggy, Saiko and Mario escape eventually, with the mask playing a large part in that, but by then Meggy will already be half-Shroob, though thankfully even though the mutation's working as advertised she's got a strong enough will that she's still almost completely her usual self mentally)

Melony, Tari and Hal Monitor are all on the run together, trying to not get captured or killed and to find Luigi. And yes, Melony's stuck in her base form

A big chunk of the Kingdom's population, including the rest of the actually relevant characters, managed to escape into the Internet Graveyard and are using it as the headquarters of the anti-Shroob resistance. SMG3, Bowser and Toadsworth are the leaders of the resistance since they all have leadership experience, the Mushroom Kingdom citizens trust Toadsworth, the bulk of their forces are from the Koopa Troop, and they're operating out of 3's territory.

The resistance managed to capture half-mutated 4, who's extremely feral and violent, and are hoping they can study his condition to create a cure for him and anyone else who's been Shroobified

(I should note that, due to the alternate method used for Meggy's mutation, if they do manage to create a cure it might not work for her)

OUGH WAIT THERE’S NO WAY IT’S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I MADE A POST ABOUT THIS Mmhmm, buckle up you chucklefucks this girl, ya girl, has FINISHED THE FANFIC! DATS RIGHT, READ FRONT TO BACK…TWICE. I actually finished reading it the first time…..*checks discord*  June 26th! So a little under a year from the last time I reblogged this post which was…whew, June 7th last year. Time flies?! FUCK. But…I really wanted to get back to writing my final thoughts about this awesome piece of fanfic genius and post it here, to not leave everybody hangin! It’s gonna be a doozy, I have many thoughts. Apologies for not writing a summary at the time I finished Bean N’ Badge–but I’ll make it up to you now!

So without further ado, my most lengthy & formal rambling about Second Shroob Invasion yet! (THIS IS ALL SPOILER FREE TOO BTW DW, I hope this reaches new people and entices you to read it for yourself!)

Ooo! The plot! (Reanalysis)

In all honesty, what really hooked me into this fanfic in the first place is that it was a lengthy story with Fawful in it. Which brings me up to my first point: the characterization is ON POINT. Absolutely blown away by canon characters such as Fawful and Midbus having a really good dynamic and very intriguing headcanons that don't lessen my enjoyment in the slightest. But the more I read the more I was impressed with the OCs too! It was like I was getting to meet them for the first time, and the personalities felt distinct. No two characters felt the exact same. My only gripe is that I wish I got to know even more about certain characters before the story was over. Which isn't really a bad thing, if I'm desperate to know more then it means I've been hooked. :3

Rereading the fic for the 2nd time, oh Catwafers I wish you spent more time playing around with the surroundings of your setting! You're a total pro at it now, like what is written here is pleasing, it gets the job done for sure. Especially around the end of Bean N’ Badge (Part 3) & The Future's Last Stand (Part 4) it gets good. I also appreciate that most of the locations used are in PiT, as of right now I need to actually play that game but looking up the locations helped me get immersed. But gimme more! Especially more context around Shoob locations. Even if it would make the fanfic twice as long idc I love your writing prowess. xD

This series knows how to raise the stakes and the blood pressure of those who get attached to the characters. There are parts of the story I really wasn't sure what was going to happen, or I had my own theories I crafted, and it was fun to be wrong on some things. After all, a fic can get too boring if you already know what to expect~

Changing the perspectives once in a while was also really nice, Steven Universe is the first thing to come to mind because in that show some of the best episodes were not entirely from Steven’s perspective (like all the past Greg/Rose episodes or Garnet explaining her love story). Like tbh I really like seeing RuV33n’s perspective, but you just can’t get all the information you need in their perspective alone. I loved scenes from the Captains and Private to scenes with the villainous Regent Shroob.

Character Rambling Section! (You’ll know who’s my favorite!)

RuV33n (aka Veenie)

Eeee what a cool main character! A Shroob who stands out from the rest–and constantly learning alongside the reader! I really like how they’re both anxious but also not afraid to fight. I can tell that the RuV33n from the beginning of the story is not the same by the end–lots of character development and I’m all here for it. Their antics with Fawful and Midbus especially are a treat and it’s so heartwarming they find warmth and comfort with the ever-changing Earth.

RuG79v (aka Ivy)

I’m glad that out of the Shroob quartet, Veenie gets the chance to reconnect with at least one of them. I can really relate to their story of underappreciation, and as a fellow artist I like seeing characters with an art hobby hehe! Don’t wanna talk about Ivy too much as to spoil what happens but keep your tabs on em. <3

Fawful!!

My favorite guyyyy my favorite beeean! Talked about this earlier but this interpretation of him was my hook for the story. And I just LOVE the fact that even if he’s put into a more “heroic” role as a main character he’s still a bitchy prick and very insistent that he is a bad guy. I think what shocks me the most is that he’s only 17 in this fic? Which isn’t a bad thing–I guess that’s one more reason to add on top of the pile of just how incredible he is. I’m always in support with different headcanons and interpretations, it’s so cool to see what different flavors artists/writers add to make Fawful, well, Fawful. 

Captain Quartet (Goomba, Shy Guy, Boo, & Koopa)

I didn’t really expect the captains from the remakes to play such important roles as side characters but here we are! They’re a huge help to represent Bowser’s Kingdom that’s getting the brunt of this invasion in the story, besides it’s funny to have characters that have already interacted with Fawful once before. Unsurprisingly, Captain Goomba is my favorite here and is the most important in the story so yippee! I also appreciate the little things in the others like the shipping within the quartet (Goomba x Shy Guy, Boo x Koopa) their role as emotional plot devices later on in the fic.

Private Tortuga (aka Zelda)

She’s so badass…and another member from Bowser’s Army to accompany the plot and the characters. I didn’t really think too much about her at first but I liked her progression and stubborn attitude especially around Fawful. She’d be fun to share stories with at a bar, dunno why that came to mind but I’m gonna put it here. Even the less plot important characters feel real to me and she’s definitely one of them.

Midbus!

Out of all the canon characters in this story, Midbus has by far impressed me the most. I feel bad for saying this but I’ve always overlooked him–of course I want to change that with my own interpretation eventually but MAAAAN does Second Shroob Invasion Midbus inspire me so. He’s wise, stoic, and a good down-to-Earth character to bounce off of the more zany ones like Veenie and Fawful. I could read his conversations between these two and their dynamics all day. The backstory, even if he doesn’t like to disclose it very much in-universe, is jaw dropping and meshes well with his already established personality. Would not mind even more content with Midbus in the future :)

Toadmida & Toadiko

I love Toads…canon or OC, they’re both treats for me–plus Toadmida especially is the very kindhearted daughter of Toadiko and gives Veenie some much needed motivation. The implementation of Toadiko and her trauma with the shroobs is (chefs kiss) even as side characters I like their implementation to help further worldbuilding and connect some smaller plot elements together.

Regent Shroob (Aka Ben)

I’m already getting a little flustered as I’m writing this but it’s because he’s my favorite OC of the fic (Sorry Veenie /lh)….he’s just a super compelling villain to me. The lore helps a lot with this, as both Shroob Princesses are gone; somebody needs to fill in the role of leader, but he’s higher than a Commander. He dealt with a lot of survival and has to make decisions to save the shroobs from going to extinction, but is too stubborn in the old ways to see a more peaceful outcome where Earthlings and Shroobs can reside together. I like his optimism and how he can make a scene go from chill to OH CRAP! 

Gagen

So last but not least is Gagen, and I think he’s a really nice character for Ben to bounce off of. He’s your main science guy, and a lot of the higher stakes near the end of the story couldn’t have happened without him. I like just how apathetic he is about Earthlings just like his Regency. As it stands this is an interesting villain and what happens after it’s all over is even more intriguing.

Closing Thoughts! (Aka I gush about my friend CatWafers)

I think the thing I really love the most about Catwafers’ work is her skill in worldbuilding; that it changed how I look at the Shroobs. Her way of reintroducing the species and looking into their potential perspectives, their own culture, it totally entranced me. Like AUGH I’m so impressed and blown away, and things just get even better when I talk to Catwafers herself. I'm proud to be her friend and I LOVE to bounce ideas and concepts around.

In fact, speaking of that one day I’m gonna blow y’all away with a reintroduction to a certain AU that Cat and I have been working on–but I’m gonna work on a script for what I wanna say and consult my writer in crime first.

But anyways! The TLDR of this I suppose is that I’m passionate about my friends, I love fanfics about my favorite characters, and that you should really check out the Second Shroob Invasion series!! Thanks for listening~

The Second Shroob Invasion Series

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to announce that I completed my longest fan-fiction ever. I started this a year ago, and it is at 90 chapters!

Premise: During the Shroob Invasion during Partners in Time, not all the Shroobs left their dying planet. Some Shroobs were too young and many others were in development in the last batch. (It took 10 years for the batch to sprout). Regent Shrooben, third in command to Princess Shroob and Elder Princess Shroob, stayed behind due to injuries to care for the Shroobs back home. Now that the last batch has grown, and the Regent learns of the Princess' defeat, he starts the Second Shroob Invasion.

One Shroob, RuV33n, is skeptical of the Regent's plans and how successful they will be. After their ship is downed during the first battle, they run into Fawful and Midbus. RuV33n meets other faces along the way and learns more and more about Planet Earth. When the Regent threatens RuV33n's Earth family, the Shroob takes a stand.

Content Warnings: Graphic Depiction of Violence

Also contains:

Character Death

Lots of swearing (the Shroobs' swears are similar to real-life swears as a way to distinguish them as different from the Mario World)

Forceful Worm Ingestion

Lots of injuries and recovery

Colonization

Limb Loss

Medical Experimentation and Procedures

Other notes:

Language Barriers play a major role as the Shroobs/Sunnycides and Earthlings speak different languages.

Will constantly switch between different perspectives.

RuV33n, being the main character, has their thoughts shown (marked by -- ... --- ). This is less prevalent as RuV33n learns more Mushroomish (common language spoken by everyone).

Whenever a scene only has Shroobs, there are no word changes to indicate that a different language is being spoken.

If a scene has people who speak Shroob and those that don’t, the Shroob speech is signaled with “[_~_~_~_~_~]” while the Mushroomish speech is regular. This was done to show the language barrier and differences in understanding.

Criticism:

I am open to feedback! Criticism helps as it allows me to improve as a writer. This is my first long-fic. As such, I did my best but would like to know what I can improve on moving forward.

Here is everything in its four parts:

The order goes as follows:

The Start of the Second Shroob Invasion

Actions Have Consequences (Backstory piece for Regent Shrooben)

Bean 'n' Badge

The Future's Last Stand

Thank you for your time!

[thereaderinsertlady]

Hiiiiii, long time no see!! How have you been?

I’m curious, you’ve written so much over the years (every time I go to your page, I’m always amazed you have like a 100 plus works while I’m struggling to finish my Second Shroob Invasion - I’m so close to the ending). How do you manage the workload of requests/commissions? What helps you when you’re writing?

Thank you so much!! :) You’re the best! (There shall be more Shroobs coming your way).

992nd3 hi there! Sorry I didn't answer sooner lol. It can be pretty damn difficult to manage everything and still make room for myself sometimes, though I manage to get by. I'll have days where I dedicate 5-10 hours to just writing alone, waking up at around 10am-ish and going to bed at 3am. I usually do commissions first at the start of the day, but sometimes I'll need motivation, so I go over to the regular requests or my multi-chapter fics and work on that instead. Though, mainly my friends have been helping me keep on track and motivated (and stopping me from going absolutely insane lmao). As of currently, every other day, I'll spend either 1-4 hours hanging out with them on discord sort of near or after dinner time, then end the day off with more writing until I get tired enough to go to sleep. Sometimes I'll write while on call with them too. The main thing that helps me write is playlists that I've listened to before, or other familiar music. I'll also set a mini goal for myself and try to write that amount in a day (like.. write 2,000 words or smfn). I sort of spread my attention out to multiple fics at once (Dear Detective, AVC, The King’s Jester, Dichotomous Key, the commissions, one or two general requests,) but work on them one at a time (if that makes sense)

Lost World's New Superstar

The KN8/Mario and Luigi crossover is finally here! It took quite awhile to plan this one out since it involves the Fawful Saga which spans between three different games. Now let's get started.

29 year old Kafka Hibino didn't know what he was truly getting into when he decided to visit the carnival. It had been the type of one that travels around the country and he didn't see the harm in reliving some childhood nostalgia. This particular one has a very special 'attraction' from the rumors Kafka heard while waiting to purchase his ticket.

A hall of mirrors that could evidently lead someone to what they truly wanted. Kafka couldn't help the curiosity stewing inside him so why not pay a visit? The worst that could happen to the man anyway in a hall of mirrors was getting lost.

It had been Kafka's initial thought until the halfway point where things began to become...strange. The reflections in the mirrors no longer looked like him but instead were now peculiar people and very strange characters. Folks with beans for heads, two short mustached men, a blonde haired princess, even a giant monster turtle!

Kafka was ready to turn back only for him to hit a massive mirrored wall. The thing being pitch black in color except for the three pairs of eyes that stare evilly back at him. All it took was a second before the darkness inside the mirror spilled out to swallow the man whole.

Kafka Hibino would be declared missing after not showing up for work. The carnival he vanished inside was put under investigation with the only clues of foul play being the man's wallet standing before a shattered mirror. No one knew Kafka Hibino had been taken into a world that became lost from theirs by time and space...

Nothing like an impromptu isekai to light a fire under someone. For those wondering, Kafka pretty much crash lands outside of Toad Town and makes quite the scene since he fell on Luigi. (The brothers were on an outing with Peach when this happened.)

Mario figures the stranger might be in the same situation that he and Luigi were once in. (Think Mario Movie/Super Mario Super Show where the brothers got pulled into the Lost World from their home in Brooklyn.) As to not overwhelm him when he wakes up, Kafka was taken to a room in the castle with the Toads waiting outside.

Good idea on their part after the trio hears the story their guest had to offer. Considering the vast difference between Kafka's world and the Mario Brothers' own, nevermind the mirror part, it was pretty clear it would take time to find out how to get him home. The man would stay with the brothers while Peach has some of her subjects looking for any leads.

It takes at least 3 weeks before Superstar Saga begins. Enough time for Kafka to become accustomed to the strange world he found himself in. Since his physical skills weren't like Mario Bros', Toadbert was able to get in touch with Professor E.Gadd.

Kafka relies on FLUDD when it comes to moving across terrain alongside early battle. Throughout his adventures in the Lost World, he gains new abilities to aid him against the more harder obstacles. What these include are:

Transformation Charm that allows him to use power-ups both in and out of battle(Partners in Time). Ice Brand, a lost hand technique found inside Jokes' End which can freeze anything if powered up enough(Superstar Saga). And Monster Force that allows Kafka to mimic a monster type(Bowser's Inside Story).

Similar to the Mario Bros, our himbo will also be put in a unique situation for each respective adventure. Kafka utilizing Trio Attacks alongside Trio Moves to traverse the BeanBean Kingdom. Skully Hibino, who gives him a taste of his destined Kaiju power than just the future, as he helps fight off Partners in Time's Shroob Invasion. Finally Kafka uses his new monstrous Koopa form forced onto him by Fawful to aid Bowser's quest throughout Bowser's Inside Story.

If you are wondering how long he's been in the Lost World, it's two years and six months. That's how long it took to find his way back home. Kafka is still connected to the Lost World as Professor E.Gadd would build a pipe linked to both worlds and give the man one such copy.

Our himbo appears in the middle of a 3rd Division mission since that's what was happening in the area where his apartment is. No perfect place for an impromptu reunion between childhood friends than an active battlefield. Mina definitely thought she was hallucinating when she saw Kafka.

Especially since he was wearing weird clothes, holding a comically big hammer and sat atop a pile of dead Yoju who were clearly pummeled by said weapon. Kafka did get taken into Defense Force custody for a bit. He was missing for almost three years and spontaneously showed up on a battlefield of all places.

Kafka is pretty entangled with the Defense Force afterwards since he can't exactly lie about where he's been. Especially since a private nurse had triggered the Ice Brand during a full body exam. (Thank the stars that FLUDD and Stuffington were with him to help explain things.) He does lie about the Warp Pipe given to him by E.Gadd though.

Kafka rather not have anything from the Lost World slip into his or vice versa since the Defense Force would confiscate it. Plus he does want to visit his friends there every once in awhile. Now Kafka isn't an official member.

Due to what he experienced in the Lost World, especially since Stuffington provided footage of all three adventures, he was too high priority to be left alone. Kafka's lifestyle became partly monitored by the Defense Force. He would often be escorted to the 3rd Division, 1st Division, or sometimes Headquarters from time to time.

This happens more frequently when Kafka gets caught up in a Kaiju attack. He WILL fight if it's a situation where people can't get to safety or the Defense Force is unable to make it on time. The Higher Ups weren't exactly happy about it since Kafka became a superstar of sorts to the civilian populace.

Some good things do come from this. Kafka managed to rekindle his friendship with Mina as the two had quite the heart to heart when he returned. Soshiro, Okonogi, and Narumi were also added to the friend group since he often visits their respective divisions.

A good thing too when Kafka gains his kaiju powers. You can say that was a much bigger trip for him than in canon since Skully does show up to help for Partners in Time. Even moreso when he gets into the very same work related accident which creates the little Yoju just a week later.

You can say things are still quite nutty for Kafka despite being back in his universe. Sometimes the weirdness of the Lost World follows those it touches. And that includes 32 year old sunshine himbos.

"Er, plumbing, yeah!" Let's just go with that! You think plumbers when you think pipes because they're the ones who handle it but these weren't your everyday pipes. Warp Pipes were a whole other beast really and the fact they just...called them the second part could make things confusing. Regardless, less talk, more action! She'd get it when they make it.

"Let's-a go! We've got-a people to save and monsters to bonk!" Those guns of hers didn't bother him too much. Jill obviously wasn't trigger happy unless you were mutated. He motioned for her to follow him then turned on his heel to begin leading the way. The smell of the sewer didn't bother him but it was surely there. Smells less-than-fresh compared to the one's he's been through but then again who's calling a sewer fresh? Plumbers, that's who!

"I've fought a few infections in my-a day. First off I'm-a Doctor!" Badumtss. "There was also this-a invasion from a bunch of-a aliens called the Shroobs. They invaded the past and a bunch'a timeholes started opening up around-a Peach's castle. My brother and I had to-a team up with our younger selves to stop it. Can you believe my-a brother's younger self defeated them by crying?"

Jill gives Mario a playful smirk. "A pipe, huh? Like, a plumbing pipe? Guess we'll both be learning a bit about each other once we're all safe!"

Jill can tell from his basic look, his strange mannerisms and sudden appearance out of a manhole that Mario probably comes from...somewhere else.

Something almost nobody knows about Jill, and other extremely highly-ranked members of S.T.A.R.S., is that she knows of the existence of parallel worlds and realities. The United States intelligence community spent the past 25 years playing with some pretty far-out stuff because of Cold War paranoia, and they occasionally opened doors they did not precisely mean to. S.T.A.R.S. has known about these experiments from the very outset, has been keeping an eye on them, and Jill suspects something similar probably brought Mario here.

Desperate times require desperate measures, and if saving a handful of survivors from a virulent outbreak means spiriting them away into an alternate universe, then that's what it'll take.

Jill presumes Mario has some control over his chosen method of interdimensional travel, but that explanation can come later. The safety of the survivors comes first.

"I don't think there's any going back up there," she admits. "So onward to the Mushroom Kingdom it is. Sounds like a lovely place! Let's go find your pipe and make sure nothing else has."

Ok, part 4 of Single Father Au

Ra1ey will figure out about who Veenie is

and try and attack them, Fawful is just

watching from a far he doesn't want to get

involved

Meanwhile Ben finds out his child is missing

and goes to find her, and on the way he

meets Gagen who lies to Ben about knowing

where Ra1ey is so he could be closer to Ben

and hoping they do find her and he uses the

opportunity to quote 'redeem' himself

Going back to Veenie who doesn't want to

hurt Raley but her tries to reason with her

and explain why they did that. Ra1ey doesn't want to hear those excuses. She also has a hard time believing them because they already lied to her, so who's to say they aren't lying again. Midbus was able to capture Ra1ey and put her in air jail so she wouldn't cause any more damage.

Since by popular demand here is part3 of

Single Father Au

So, a couple of weeks later since Ra1ey learned about her mom. She has tried to get her dad to talk about the other parent with subtle questions, but he always avoids it. Ra1ey sneaking out becomes more frequent so she can learn more about her mom and, at one point, she meets Veenie, but she didn't know it was Veenie because they were scared of what would happen if she knew who they were it could lead to many problems so they keep their name a secret, they try and bond with her and try to gave her a comfort about how she feels about learning that her dad lied to her for so long. Fawful seem to become really good friends with Ra1ey and wanted Veenie to fess up about who they are, and Fawful also looks after her. Midbus doesn't really know how to interact with Ra1ey because he doesn't understand what she says, but sorta understands how she feels. Meanwhile, Gagen is hiding somewhere wallowing in self-pity.

I got a moldycorps, Au dubbed: Single father Au

The thing about this Au is that Veenie and Gagen were able to kill Sasha, but not Ben, leaving him alone with a child, Ra1ey never met her mom, nor did Ben want to talk about them, Him and Gagen became extremely distant because he was along with Veenie were responsible for the death of his partner, Ra1ey became a very sheltered and spoiled child as a result of Bens new found overprotectiveness. Gagen started hating Veenie because they are the reason why Ben doesn't want to see them anymore. Fawful is only mad at Veenie because he lost his new friend, that he saw as a replacement for Cackletta, Midbus isn't mad at Veenie because they were the one who killed Sasha but, he is more mad at the fact they helped Gagen kill Sasha without thinking what consequences of their actions. Ben hates Veenie even more now and is telling Ra1ey that if she finds someone who looks like Veenie, then she has 100% allowance to kick them. Ben is also preparing Ra1ey to become next Regent after his retirement as the Shroobs would need someone to rule them, Ra1ey does have lower chances to become a princess because of her being half blooded.

Baby Lift…?

Fawful cannot carry one apple let alone two whole babies.

Heheheheh so as someone who has literally dissected the "Fawful scene" from PIT I have some questions relating your AU 👁️👁️

What would happen if Fawful were to find out the babies' identities? How would he react, and what would he do as a result?

Also what would happen if the adult Mario and Luigi were to stumble across Fawful caring for the babies?

Have a great day! 🔥

Hiiiii, thank you so much for reaching out. I'm glad you broke the Fawful scene in PIT to pieces to see what it's all about. I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Alright, so with the AU, there's the ever mounting tension of the babies' identifies and vice versa. The babies do all kinds of deception to fool everyone. Why did they bother with Fawful in the first place? It was since Fawful is one of the most interesting people they've met, he makes inventive and G R E A T food, he's always working on an interesting gadget, he teaches the babies skills like budgeting, sales and tax fraud, he's working on evil schemes that the babies want to uncover, and he cares for them. Fawful is basically like the new weird kid in school who is full of mystery.

Fawful, meanwhile, would fret about the Mario Bros. hurting the babies and tells them to be watchful. The babies know that Fawful's fears are unfounded for them since the adults are their caretakers and they trust the adults more than they do Fawful. But, for their safety, they let Fawful ramble on and provide them weapons to protect themselves against the Bros. Fawful is also more than happy to upgrade their hammers.

If they succeed, I would plan for Fawful to find out at the very end when the babies give him a drawing of their family (they hop into a Time Hole soon after). Fawful is overcome with happiness seeing himself drawn among the babies, but then he opens the rest of the drawing and sees the Mario Bros. Immediately he panics that the Mario Bros. were gathering information on him when he was at his lowest. He would scream into the nether that the Mario Bros. wanted taunt him and see him suffer. As such, he adds extra details in his scheming where he'll have Bowser inhale the Adult Bros. as payback.

If Fawful found out sooner, he would be heart-broken. Probably couldn't bear to look at the babies for the rest of the day. But, it would dawn on him that the babies aren't the same adults that ruined his life.* As such, Fawful asks the babies to not kill him in the future. Maybe he might consider taking the babies in as toadies (as Cackletta did for him) so that he could get rid of the biggest wrench in his plans for conquest.

*(to be fair, Fawful was a terrorist, and Mario and Luigi were defending the Beanbean Kingdom; Fawful ruined his own life but refuses to take accountability for that).

The Mario Bros. ,ooooooh boy would they be M A D! The only context they know Fawful in is him causing terror over and over. Being protective, they would assume that Fawful was taking advantage of the babies like using them as pawns in an evil scheme or to get information about the Mario Bros. They would first see Fawful being near the children and get in between them. Then they would threaten Fawful and demand to know his intentions.

A fight would ensue with the babies trying to stop it.

Then the Mario Bros. would think on it seeing that Fawful is just as terrified as they are for the babies' safety. What tips them off is that Fawful is more concerned about the babies' needs and how scared they are rather than his wants and all that evil lair was spotted too soon.

It's already worrisome that he's living in the sewers. They would see Fawful spiraling and feel that he isn't in the best state to care for both children's needs. (They fear that the babies would see things that would traumatize them like Fawful's violent mental breakdowns or the babies being forced to act as Fawful's caretakers). After a while, they would get concerned for Fawful's mental health and try to get mental health services in and better housing (since rearranging your whole life to spite someone at the cost of your health and wellbeing isn't healthy, neither would be making two children be responsible for your mental health - Fawful hasn't done that second part, but the Bros. fear he will eventually). All the while, they would explain to the Baby Bros. how complicated brains are and that sometimes mental illnesses happen. It doesn't mean someone is incompetent or doesn't deserve to live, but that they may need help (just like how if someone breaks an arm, they get help to heal the arm. If someone is struggling with mental health, then society should provide help to heal the brain).

If the three were to meet, a third party would need to intervene. Maybe Princess Peach given that she is level-headed and wants a full picture of the situation (since she would see that Fawful does care for the babies and that the Mario Bros. have every right to be weary of Fawful).

There's one thing for sure: the babies have A-LOT of explaining to do.

I hope you have a great day as well. @federthenotsogreat
