## Plot

The beginning of the episode starts in the year 1152. When Baron and the knights of the hexagon table are having a meeting, Kalahad comes into the room to tell Baron about a invasion by the Shroobs. Baron and his troops go outside to attack the shroobs. Many die on both sides then Lemcelot charges at their leader the Elder Shrooboid. Lemcelot then attacks the leader from behind stabbing it in the heart.

The scene cuts back to present day where Lemmy and Morton are talking about the statue when Morton leaves to buy himself and Lemmy something. Chargin' Chucks begin throwing rocks at the statue for no reason. Lemmy confronts them but the Chargin' Chucks state they remember seeing him before, but when Morton comes back they back off and run.

When Morton and Lemmy are busy playing Mario Kart, a Shroob Mothership had landed outside the castle, with the offspring of the Elder Shrooboid, Shroobert and the shroobs inside. They defeat the Sledge Bros to take the Key to infiltrate the castle. They entered Bowser's room, only for the King to wake up and demands them to leave his room. Only for one of the Shroobs to knock him out with his ray gun twice (which was set to "stun"). Lemmy went to Morton's Room because he heard their dad screaming, the two checked outside and see their father kidnapped. Morton wanted to go back to sleep but Lemmy wants to rescue Bowser, which cause Morton to join in as the duo goes into the Shroob Mothership. Morton and Lemmy wondering where they are, but Lemmy realized they are at outer space. When the two shroobs showed up, Lemmy hids behind the crates while his brother hid inside his shell, overhearing their conversation about the plan to do something with Bowser's Body for something.

Meanwhile, Shroobert and the Shroobs went back to Dr. Shrooboid and the other shroobs. But the Doc suggest he should get a different body because Bowser's unfit to be a use for the resurrection of the Elder but Shroobert said he is the King of an entire kingdom. He also reminds the doc that he outranked him with a rebuttal that only because he's "the offspring of the Elder Shrooboid." which causes one of the Shroobs to agree with the Doc only for him to be killed. Shroobob, also the offspring of the Elder Shrooboid, shown up drunk after the party at Mercury. Shroobert reminds his brother that they have an important assignment on the 42nd of Ztanurary, even though Shroobob wants it to be Quantember. He told his brother to take a shower for their Mother's Resurrection, and Shroobob replied he'll be in his room and come get him "when the important stuff starts".

Morton and Lemmy later went into the bar, with the two drinked the alcohol (Lemmy vomited) only for them to run into Popple, who had escaped from prison and went back to stealing stolen some things in the castle and breaks into the mothership. The shadow thief himself has stolen the cash, some weaponry, and Morton's Sandwich, then he shown them the sword he stolen, which belonged to the late Sir Lemcelot which Lemmy and Morton had back in the Castle. Lemmy demands him to give the sword back, but Popple refused. The Shroob has caught the three and place them under arrest, but Lemmy proves his and Morton innocences. But the real reason was coming into the bar and drinking all their liquor. Popple suggest them to do something, Morton responed by throwing the liquor at the Shroob but was inches away from being on target. Morton and Lemmy gotten away with injuring them with Morton's shell, meanwhile Popple was caught by the Shroobs.

Back in the Doc's lab, Dr. Shroob let's them Shroobert, Shroobob, and the Shroobs that "the transfer is finally complete". Shroobert and the doc are arguing about paitence and procrastination. Shroobob interjects and tells them that he's got plans but his brother told him he's not alllowed to say anything during the resurrection. The doc presents them to "the Elder Shrooboid...Reborn!" Thus giving them "Shrowser" who didn't like this body choice, the doc told her that he tried to tell them but was silenced by Shroobert, who was happy to see his mother back. Shrowser continues to pursuit with her galatic conquest by planning to have another invasion to Earth, but her offspring, Shroobob, wants to "kick back and have fun" because he doesn't like to kill people and take over planets. She demands him to get his ray gun and prepare for the war, which he mouthed off under his breath that he prefers her dead. The Blue shroob informs them that there's the intruders in the ship, informs that Morton and Lemmy are the ones that looks like the body Shrowser is using. She told the Blue Shroob to find them and arrest them so they won't be screwing up the plans to invade.

Morton and Lemmy are hiding in the lab from the Shroobs, Morton gives Lemmy the brain for him to eat, but the Short koopaling found out about the jar that is labelled " Fat Shelled Creature". Morton said it's a brain but his brother implied that's their "Dad's brain". He finally realized that the Shroobs removed Bowser's brain because they needed his body for the resurrection. Lemmy orders Morton to keep "this brain safe" and don't mistake it for a burrito like he did with an entire bag of chicken from a supermarket, which he literally ate the bag. But when the duo heard a knock, they realized it's the shroobs, until Morton creates a diversion, by saying John...the shroobs weren't buying it because to them it didn't sound like a real name until changed to Humphrey. Told "Humphrey" that to keep an eye out to Morton and Lemmy, until the real Humphrey (who is a pink shroob) shown up late to the party. As the door opens, they've cornered Morton and Lemmy, as Morton tried to escaped but he was stunned by Humphrey, the duo are taken prisoners.

Shrowser and Shroobert are looking forward to conquering Earth again, but Shroobob says "Invading planets is so boring!" causing the offsprings to argue before Shrowser threating to take them out of the galaxy. The Shroob informs her that they successfully captured Morton and Lemmy, now they can start the invasion. Shroobert suggest her that they should stop by at Goomburger, Shroobob requests to join but his brother declined because he's an embrassment to the family and Shrowser ordered him to check on the prisoners and he admits he hates the mothership.

Later at Prison, Lemmy and Morton are in their cell, talking while Popple wants some peace and Quiet and who's next to their cell. Popple admitted that the reason why he bacame a thief is because he can't afford as much as the duo. Shroobob checks on Morton and Lemmy, asking if they're doing okay. Morton told him that he's not having his brain, but the shrooboid says he's actually here to check on them. He asked if they have an escape plan, Lemmy responded to his question with things they have, their "O-phones, a paper clip, and an empty bag of chips." Shroobob asked about the O-phone, when Lemmy show him, he was impressed. He was amazed with the supermarket, entertainment and music after asking them for more, declaring the Earth as "awesome". Morton told him that Earth is "gonna to be destroyed soon." Shroobert disappointedly remembered, but he declared his defection from the Shroob Force by freeing Morton and Lemmy and telling them that there's escape pods at the end of the ship also take one of those back to Earth. The duo thank him but Lemmy ain't leaving without Bowser. Shroobert realized that they're the kids of the body the Elder Shrooboid is using. Before the duo will be facing the shroobs, he gave them Lemcelot's sword which Popple stolen, they thanked him again, as he left Popple in his cell.

As the Shroob Force are about to land Earth at an hour, they were stopped by Morton and Lemmy, which Shroobert and Shrowser didn't knew that his brother defected from the force and let them escaped. She reminds them she "have a whole army" while Lemmy showed them Lemcelot's sword which got the Red Shrooboid guessing but Shrowser remembered that's the same sword that stabbed her through the heart, telling them to set their ray guns from "stun" to "kill" to execute the duo. The sword was magic to injure Shroobert, the battle begins. Morton and Lemmy slaying the Shroobs and Dr. Shroob. As Shroobert gotten up, Morton realized he was about to kill Lemmy, he used his shell to defend his brother by deflecting the beams, Lemmy used Morton's shell to get the Shrooboid to go unconsious. Frustrated with her offspring's failure, Shrowser used the flamethrower but Lemmy threw the sword to the chest which he was trying to aim at at her brain. As Shrowser had returned as Bowser, when he's unconsious, her ghost have emerge. Morton used a ray gun to finished of the ghost by shooting her head.

The Duo carried their father who was bleeding from the chest to the escape pods, but they were stopped by the mortally wounded Shroobert. Lemmy pleads for Mercy while Morton told him that his mother is dead but Shroobert wanted her mother gone, so he can take her place as a new leader of the Shroobs and let nothing stand in his way. As he was about to kill the trio, they were saved by Shroobob, who killed his brother with his ray gun. He would rather take an escape pod and go live his life on Earth. Morton told him whenever he gets down to earth, he can contact him and Lemmy by getting KoopaBook. He thank them for everything, making this battle a victory for Morton and Lemmy. The three then get onto one of the escape pods, and Lemmy contacts Kamek, telling him that they'll be back in 2 years.
