Bowser's Boost- Part 4 (Patreon)

Bowser finally catches up to Peach and Mario, only to win the day, bigger and better than ever! A break is very well deserved at this point- especially where the view is this good. Enjoy, folks!

**************

Bowser was still surging in size, drinking in some of the most potent power-ups as he stomped towards the beach of Isle Delfino. He curled his immense arm and, throwing a punch stronger than a battering ram, his fist smashed through one last stone barrier. He was so close to Mario and Peach, he could feel it! He muscled his way forward, his chest and shoulders slamming into the stone and breaking off shards until his feet fell on soft sand. Quickly, his eyes scanned the beach, and then he saw them. "Hah! There you are!"

Princess Peach and Mario leapt to their feet from the beach towels they were sprawled out on, as the sun had just been dwarfed by an immense presence. Mario's jaw dropped as the hulking koopa king came into view and Peach gasped. "Bowser?"

"Bwahaha! You better believe it! Now get up, I'm here to save you! No one kidnaps Princess Peach but me."

"What?" Mario shot up. "Mama Mia- you big oaf! We weren't kidnapped!"

"Mario…" Peach tugged on the plumber's shirt.

Bowser blinked. "You… you weren't?"

"My subjects are dear to me," Peach began, "But… over-eager. They never really leave us alone, and we needed a vacation. Making it look as if we had been whisked away seemed to be the easiest choice."

"You're kiddin'." Bowser stared at the two.

"Now, of course, you've blown our cover and they'll all come-a running!" Mario snapped.

"Bah! I didn't know!" the koopa king crossed his mammoth arms, biceps pressed against his engorged pecs. "Well now what am I supposed to do, huh? I thought you were in danger! Now look at me- I got bigger and stronger than I've ever been, I got my army with me, and I find out you're here all alone…" All at once, Bowser connected the dots. "Wait a minute! I've made myself bigger and stronger than I've ever been, I got my army with me, and you're here all alone! Bwahahaha!"

Bowser stomped forward, casting Peach and Mario in his shadow. Mario attempted a jump attack, but he hit Bowser's chiseled abs like a brick wall, bouncing off his iron-like scales and rock-hard muscle. Bowser grinned toothily, flames tickling at his muzzle as he easily swatted Mario, effortlessly holding him and Peach in vice-like grips.

Kamek appeared at Bowser's shoulder in a puff of smoke. "Your Terribleness! You did it- you actually did it! You kidnapped Mario and Peach!"

"I…" Bowser blinked, looking down at the two squirming helplessly in his grip. "I did."

"What do we do with them now, O horrific one?"

Bowser blinked. "Uh… what… what are we supposed to do when we win?"

Kamek thought for a moment, and then glanced at Mario and Peach's deserted cabana. "Well… we could go on vacation."

"Bwahaha! That's more like it!"

Soon, Bowser was sprawled across a small field of beach towels to cover the complete landmass of his body. His enormous back outclassed all but the largest sand dunes, and with him lying atop it, his chest surged upward like a clefted mountain, wedging his chin as his neck was buried in his enormous shoulders and his beachball-sized biceps pressed in against his cheeks. His earth-shaking legs, now so densely packed with muscle they were wider around than they were long, stretched out lazily into the sand as the victorious king basked in the sun. Without Mario hoarding them, those power-up mushrooms were everywhere- which meant Bowser could fuel his juggernaut physique for a long time to come. He could get used to winning like this.
