Test run for imperial_saga

[So, both you and Bowser have left your respective armies behind and are meeting right in the middle- to negotiate, or to engage in a duel.]

... alright, my beef ain't with you. But YOUR piddly little warband's sitting in MY glorious army's path, and we're either going through you or over you, because you're looking at the biggest, baddest

[And Robotnik, looking fairly aggravated, is staring the Koopa King straight in the eyes from his Egg Mobile.]

Bah! What's so big and bad about an oversized turtle? If you can't even threaten me properly, then I don't see any reason I have to pull back my troops for your measly band of soup ingredients.

[king_of_koopas]

[Bowser's eyes narrow into a glare; HE'S not breaking eye contact as he stomps closer to poke the Egg Mobile with a sharp claw]

[and probably scratching the paint]

'Bah' YOURSELF, baldy! I'M not backing down from a bunch of rusty soup cans, and neither are MY troops! Now get outta the way before we send you packin'- you're not man enough to fight these turtles!

[egg_across_time]

[And he just got a paint job on that rusty soup can. Veins begin to throb on the rotund man's temples.]

Y-you... What can you and your testudines army do against decades of hard research and brilliant engineering!? I'll make a robot out of you before I let turtles rule over what's rightfully mine!

[king_of_koopas]

You and your fancy-pants science-y junk are a thousand years too early to beat us, so move it before we stomp your toy soldiers into scrap metal, Orange 'Stache!

-- and who're you calling a testo-di-nay!?

[egg_across_time]

Ugh, there's really no helping it with you. The short answer is no! The long answer? No, and I dare you to just try it, Turtle. Do you know how often I've used your kind for batteries? Just try it.

[king_of_koopas]

... fine.

[Bowser cracks his knuckles, sneering confidently.] We'll do this the easy way, right here, right now! You and me! Mano-a-mano! Koopa versus wuss! Loser backs off and moves their army outta the way!

1/2

[egg_across_time]

Hah! I thought you'd never ask!

[And if Bowser hadn't offered, Robotnik would have. Seeing as how the Koopa King was unwilling to step down, a battle is more or less necessary to settle issues at this point. The Egg Mobile hovers higher into the air and... escapes, apparently. The Egg Mobile zooms towards the distance.]

2/2

[And from the air drops a robot about twice as tall as Bowser. The design of the robot is clearly based on its creator, mustache and all. As silly as it looks, this machine is still one of Robotnik's finest. It's his personal robotic suit meant for wrecking towns and giving himself unfair advantages in duels.]

And oh, yes, I have a feeling this will be very easy for me.

[king_of_koopas]

Yeah! That's what I THOUGHT! You're too chickeWHAT THE BLAZES!?

[And that is how Bowser went from jeering to enraged shock in seconds flat. To his credit, the Koopa King recovers quickly]

Cover yourself in as much metal as you want- I'll burn you right back to the Stone Age, you dirty ape!!

[And Bowser rears back with a roar, unleashing his infamous fire breath right at the bad doctor's robot]

[egg_across_time]

[The flames wear down at the mechanical egg, but what sort of a robot would it be without at least some fire resistance? Granted, it wasn't fire proof which would have made this attack completely useless, but focusing more on armor would force Robotnik to sacrifice a few offensive features. Like this one.

The jetpack behind the engineer's robot starts up and the automaton rockets into the air, coming down back at Bowser with a mighty stomp.]

You'll need more flames if you want to even leave a singe, turtle!

[king_of_koopas]

Flames aren't the ONLY trick up my sleeve, Orange 'Stache!

[Bowser doesn't roll out of the way- instead, he hunches forward and withdraws into his shell right before the robot stomps down. The Koopa King disappears completely, embedded almost most of the way into the dirt-]

[And then Bowser, bruised but with more than enough fight left in him, starts SPINNING underneath Robotnik's robot's foot, trying to drill upwards with his shell's razor spikes.]
