The Great Flattening Begins!

Bowser, Kamek, and Bowser Jr. all see something hide behind some of the nearby equipment. “Did you see that?” Jr. whispers.

“Yeah I did. You two stay here I’ll go check it out.” Bowser stretches his neck as he moves his head slowly towards to where the figure disappeared.

“He looks like a snake right now.” Jr. whispers to Kamek.

“Agreed.” Replies Kamek.

Bowser’s head quickly rounds the corner as he shouts. “Ah ha!”

A loud terrified scream fills the air causing the 3 of them to cover their ears. Bowser unfortunately can’t because of his outstretch neck so he takes the full brunt of it. While he is stunned the unknown figure tries to run away but quickly trips and falls to the ground, falling apart in the process.

“Don’t move! Stay right where you are!” Bowser shouts at them. The rest of his body gestures Kamek and Jr. to move forward. As Bowser waits for the others, he tries to get a good look at their spy but can’t because they are covered by a large sombrero with a green trim and details, noticeably shaking with an audible rattling noise.

Kamek and Jr. show up guiding Bowser’s body to the scene and see the rattling sombrero. Bowser keeps his neck outstretched a couple of feet so he can continue to loom over them.

Kamek pulls out his magic wand and uses it to move the hat revealing their captive spy. They all see a Dry Bones wearing pale green gloves and shoes scattered on the ground in a pile shaking.

“Ah!” They yelp.

“Wait a minute, Dusty is that you?” Kamek asks.

“You know them Kamek?” Bowser asks Kamek turning his head around.

“Yes. He’s actually the one made and set up most the equipment here.”

“What!?” Bowser exclaimed.

“Yeah he’s the weirdo I helped build all of this before you got here Papa.”

“Thanks’ for telling me that now!” Bowser said while he retracts his neck.

“Are you going to stop shouting at me now?” Dusty asked timidly.

“Absolutely! I’m terribly sorry about this.” Kamek uses his magic to reassemble Dusty and give back his hat.

“Are you alright now?” Asks Kamek.

“Yeah… I’m ok.”

“Lord Rubber Bowser this is Dusty one of our best engineers, mechanics, and builders.” Dusty nervously waves hello.

“You’re the one who built all of this!?” As Bowser points to the machinery.

“Most of it, yes.” Dusty replies nervously.

“Excellent work Dusty, you’ve made some wonderful things to test my powers with!” He applauds his work.

“Oh! Why th-thank you my king.” Sounding very bashful.

“Why where you staring at us from behind a corner?” Jr. asks.

“Oh um I’m not very good with people so I try to avoid them, but I wanted to see of my creations where to your liking so did what I did.”

“Why don’t you show us how they work and guide us through them?” Bowser says with a smile extending/stretching out a hand for Dusty to take.

“A-are you sure?”

“Absolutely! Besides I could use you help for what I have next in mind.”

“Ok.” Dusty takes Bowser’s hand.

As they are walking back Bowser says. “As you probably saw I’ve already tried flattening with my arm.”

“…Yes.” Dusty said. “I’d like to do a full body experience so I can both get rid of any ticklishness and to get used to being fully flat. So what do you recommend we use for something like that?” As he scans the various machines and equipment around him.

“Oh! I have just the thing for that, follow me!” Dusty said excitedly. They scurry over to the large raised platform.

“This will do what you want Lord Bowser!”

“How exactly does this work Dusty?”

“You’d simply lie on here as the platform rises up a large roller would come from underneath. You can input your desired thickness and how far across the roller moves on this control panel here, so if you wanted to be half flat you could have the roller stop say halfway.” Dusty rambles.

“That sounds incredible, but I’d rather not lay face down for that.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. The platform can magically shape to you, so you can lay on your back.”

“How?” Bowser asks. Dusty just shrugs.

“You sure went from being shy and quiet to becoming a chatterbox real fast.” Jr. blabs.

Dusty immediately becomes quiet and reserved again.

“You sure did go on about this, Haha!” Bowser says. “I definitely know that I’m in good hands then, so I’ll let you man the controls then!”

“Really?”

“Absolutely Dusty! Set thickness to half an inch and for a full body rolling!” He steps onto the platform. Dusty just stands there surprised. “Well come on now.” Says Bowser.

“Best not keep dad waiting.” Jr. chimes in.

Dusty hurries over to the control panel and gets things started. The platform raises up and the large roller comes out just like Dusty described. “Alright Lord Bowser go ahead and lie down now. Oh and one more thing, you can set a timer on this so you can operate this completely by yourself if you’d like.” Dusty informs Bowser.

“You really thought of everything, glad to have you around for this!” Dusty is immensely flattered.

As Bowser lays down he can feel the hard metal of the platform warp and shape to his spikey shell. He positions himself to be rolled feet first with his arms resting at his sides and pointing his feet out. Before the roller starts Bowser can’t help himself and looks excitedly at roller ready to watch himself become completely flattened.

The roller starts moving at a not too slow but steady speed. It smushes Bowser’s toes beginning the flattening. As his feet are being smushed he feels the familiar complacent sensation. Steadily his legs and tail become flat as his fingers go underneath the roller locking him in. Feeling his stomach and arms be pressed flat next he says.

“Everything’s going great so far!”

“Good to hear things are going well my Flatness!” Replied Kamek.

Bowser likes the sound of that name, but sees the roller reach his chest. “Oh!” He moves his head back looking straight up now thinking. “Shows almost over time for the big finish!” As the roller reaches his head Bowser closes his eyes and feels his head get crushed by the roller finding the feeling satisfying.

It is done! Bowser has become a completely half an inch thick sheet. He opens his eyes and sees the roller move above him. The roller goes back underneath then the platform lowers back down. Bowser can’t really feel his own body all that much except for his right arm.

“Well how do I look? I can’t really see for myself because I can’t move right now.” Kamek, Jr., and Dusty step onto the platform and see Bowser completely flattened. As Bowser talks and looks around his face looks like a moving 2D image to everyone.

“You look very flat my Lord.” Says Kamek.

“You look like an oversized sticker to me.” Says Jr.

Dusty thinks. “He looks like one of those custom-made rugs you can buy online.”

How do you feel Lord Flat Bowser?” Kamek asks.

“I can’t really feel all that much actually. Well except for my right arm, but that’s probably because it was already flattened.”

“What do want us to do now?”

“I want you to all grab onto me, all on the same side and violently shake me around as much as you can. Kind of like what I did with my arm earlier, so that way I can be somewhat functional sooner that latter.”

“Understood my Lord!”

“Ok Papa!” Jr. said excitedly.

“Um ok.” Dusty says quietly.

They all move to the top of bowser and grab onto his shoulders and head. Immediately when they grab him his body slides and moves, causing him to feel everything so much that it isn’t ticklish but feels completely unlike anything before. Being able to look at his flattened body for the first time he says. “Woah this feels incr-” Before he could finish he is violently shaken around by the others like a bedsheet. “Wooooaaaaaahhhh!!!”

After alot of flapping him around they stop. The three of them all ask. “Are you alright?”

“Uuuuuggggghhhhh…” Bowser is completely overwhelmed and beyond disoriented all flopped, folded, and creased.

“I think we over did it huh?” Jr. says.

“If he needs some time to recover we can bring him over here then.” Dusty leads them (as they drag Bowser behind them) to what look like a cloths wire if the wire was a metal pole. Kamek uses his magic to hang flat Bowser on the bar like freshly cleaned laundry.

Bowser groans again. “Uuuugggghhh…”

“I think Dad is going to be here for a while…” Jr. says feeling bad for what he did to his dad.

“It’s alright Lord Jr. I’m sure he knows that you didn’t mean to.” Kamek comforts Jr.

“Dusty can I count on you keep watch of Lord Rubber Bowser?”

Dusty stammers out. “Y-you really want me to watch over him!?”

“All of us don’t have to be here at this point. Besides Jr. could use some cheering up anyways.”

“Are you really certain about this? What if something happens to him or what if-” Kamek stops their rambling.

“Bowser already trusts you to be able to handle things.” Kamek puts his hand on Dusty’s boney shoulder. “So then have trust in you king.”

Dusty feels motivated but still nervous and says. “Alright I will then!”

“Good! Let’s be on our way then Lord Jr.”

“Alright…” They walk off.

“How about we blow something up!” Kamek proposes to Jr.

“Ok.” Jr. seems to like that idea.

Dusty looks at Bowser hanging around as one of his arms slides off and flops over barley touching the ground. He walks up to Bowser puts his hand on him. “He feels like a thick sheet of rubber. He really is made of rubber now, huh.” Dusty grabs his flat hand and gives it a through look over. Bowser doesn’t react to any of this.

“He really is out of it.” He let’s go of his hand and looks at all of their equipment. “Now that I think about it all of this is really unorganized.” Looks back at Bowser. “I probably have some time to reorganize.” Dusty adjusts their skull and gets to work.

“…ugh…” Bowser groans again.

Hang in There Bowser
