[ And blocking the way OUT is none other than Bowser and a group of his incompetent trustworthy Goombas and Koopa Troopas, all of them staring wide-eyed and slack-jawed at the little girl who just effortlessly beat them to the chase. ]

[ Bowser points an accusatory claw at Evangeline, sputtering with un-righteous indignation. ]

Hey! HEY! You pint-sized twerp, I was gonna hit up this bank! I had plans and everything! Who gave you the right to interfere!?

Re: 1!

[high_on_daylight]

I didn't know we called "dibs" on robbing banks now, sorry.

[The sheer level of snark in Evangeline's tone is only heightened by going directly to her natural British accent.]

It's not like I even grabbed that much, sheesh. Just go in, the vault's already open.

[king_of_the_koopas]

I'm the freaking Koopa King, of COURSE I've got dibs on everything!

[ Bowser crosses his arms, sneering right back down at her. ]

Yeah, like I'm gonna believe YOU, twerp. If you just took one measly bag, you probably booby-trapped the whole stinking vault!

[high_on_daylight]

Now why would I bother with that?

[Evangeline chuckles, even as she keeps an eye on Bowser's movements - and those of his minions.]

Please tell me we're not about to do that thing where the two villains start fighting, allowing our rival heroes to beat the junk out of both of us.

[king_of_the_koopas]

Look, there's no way you'd settle for one bag when you could clean out the entire joint! Even YOU couldn't be that short-sighted!

[ Bowser remains at ease, though his minions are visibly tensing up- they've known their boss long enough to figure out what's coming next. ]

And of course we're not gonna do that thing- 'cause I'll take you down before they even get here! ATTACK!

[ The Goombas are already lunging at Evangeline before that last word leaves Bowser's mouth, with the Koopa Troopas not far behind. ]

[high_on_daylight]

[As Bowser declares Evangeline short-sighted, her look turns visibly more annoyed.]

Seriously? You realize how many of the bills are likely marked, right? Better to take a sample and-

[As the first Goomba jumps in, Evangeline drops low, grabbing its foot and tossing it at two of the others.]

You are such an idiot. Do you want the money, or not?

[king_of_the_koopas]

Marked, shmarked, what's the difference? Money's money!

[ ... says the guy who comes from a land where paper money isn't really a thing. But Bowser narrows his eyes at the insult and at the incompetence of his minions, who're knocked away like nine-pins. The Koopa Troopas' rush is delayed, as they have to circle AROUND the knocked-down Goombas. ]

[ Oh, it's on like- well, like Rare's gorilla mascot who probably won't be appearing in this game. ]

Yeah? We'll see who the idiot is when I take your bag!

[ Bowser picks up one of his Koopa Troopas and hurls it right at Evangeline's head, causing the unfortunate turtle to scream and hurriedly withdraw into its shell. ]

[high_on_daylight]

[As the Troopa started to fly in, Evangeline nimbly stepped to one side.]

Oh, look, you're having to use your entire force on a ten-year-old girl - and it still isn't helping you!

[Yup. Totally baiting Bowser to come in.]

[king_of_the_koopas]

[ The Troopa's faint "WHYYYYYyyyyyyy" is cut off as he slams into the wall and goes ricocheting back out the door into places unknown. Bowser doesn't pay the poor guy any mind, though, because he's too busy devouring the bait hook, line, sinker, and probably eating through most of the dock to boot. ]

Bah! If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself!!

[ Except Bowser doesn't rush in. He takes a deep breath before letting loose a huge blast of fire in Evangeline's direction. ]

[ And also in the direction of the cracked-open vault, with its bags and bags of flammable paper money. ]

[high_on_daylight]

IDIOT!

[Evangeline rapidly throws up ice barriers in front of the vault and herself to block the blow.]

The money is made of PAPER! Don't go throwing fire around if you want any of it!

[king_of_the_koopas]

What!? What kind of IDIOT makes their money out of flammable-

[ Bowser? Admit that he screwed up? HECK no. ]

I mean, er- hah! I knew it! You want the rest of that money after all!!

[ And now there's a huge dragon-turtle-thing lunging at Evangeline with a fist cocked back, ready to swing a wild haymaker at her! ]

[high_on_daylight]

[As Bowser steps in for a Haymaker, Evangeline just does her usual thing - jumping at his fist just before the swing begins, quickly moving into a... Okay, actually, not the right move, his fist was too big to grab. But she could still toss her hands out, aiming to shove her tiny body over his fist!]

Too slow!

[king_of_the_koopas]

Wha- hey!!

[ Bowser's basically built like a shelled, muscled tank, and he's about as fast- but he's not agile enough to deal with a tiny girl avoiding his attacks with gymnastics, of all things. He turns around halfway, trying to keep up with Evangeline. ]

Stop that! You're not allowed to dodge, you darn dirty ape!!

[ He lashes out with a backhand this time, trying to knock her flying or shred her to pieces or even just clip her (he's not particularly picky). ]

[high_on_daylight]

Oh, please. You don't think a girl like me got as far as I have on tanking blows from brutes like-

[On the bright side, the backhand hit! On the not-so-bright side, the girl split into a swarm of bats, which flew a ways away and reformed.]

Not bad.

[king_of_the_koopas]

[ He ALMOST begins gloating when he feels his fist connect, but that quickly fades because- what. What. Bowser actually looks offended by Evangeline's amazing dodge, and he's pointing that accusatory claw at her again. ]

Oh, come on, that is so totally cheating! What the heck did you do, rig the superpowers lottery or something? How's anyone supposed to hit you when you can turn into a trillion smelly rodents!?

[high_on_daylight]

Oh, do shut up. I haven't developed my powers since the time William Shakespeare was alive for nothing, you know.

[king_of_the_koopas]

Don't make it sound so grandiose! I don't know who this spear-shaker is, but YOU can't have been around for more than eight years!

[ He's an invader from another dimension, he's not so good with history or culture- not that he was back home, either, but still. ]

[high_on_daylight]

Uncultured beyond uncultured, I see.

Can I safely assume you're new here?

[king_of_the_koopas]

Gwahaha, you got that right! Posh culture's for pansies who sit around and drink tea all day. I'm a mover AND a shaker!

[ Well, he can't deny that he's a newcomer, so Bowser crosses his arms and inclines his head. ]

Yeah, you're looking at the most promising up-and-coming overlord in the history of overlords. So just this once, I'll forgive you for not having recognized the Koopa King!

[high_on_daylight]

[Evangeline just chuckles in turn.]

Seven out of ten on the dramatic monologue. Minus two for the quality of minions, though.

[king_of_the_koopas]

Hey! Where the heck did those remaining three points go? And I'll have you know that my minions are at most a minus one!!

[ ... yes, in Bowser's mind, points for style is marginally more important than the fact that they were just trying to murder each other a second ago. ]

[high_on_daylight]

It's called 'poetry'. The greatest villain rants are like a poem of power.

That's one reason I don't bother with them.

[king_of_the_koopas]

If you don't do any villainous rants, then why do you even bother trying to be a villain? What, do poems make you break out into hives or something?

[ Bowser's minions glance around nervously as sirens begin blaring in the distance, although the big guy himself doesn't seem fazed. ]

Bah, I don't have time for this! I'm just gonna loot this place for all it's worth before it starts swarming with Omegadweebs.

[high_on_daylight]

Why bother? Villainy can be many forms of style, and I've found that no one bothers remembering your monologuing.

Anyways, if you're done fighting me, get on with it and I'll get out of your hair.
