Prologue:
So you thought
it would never happen in a million years, huh? Well, it happened. Iggy
and Lemmy got into their first fight. Well, it was a fight at first, but
then it turned into a war, and… uh, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s
just begin where this story started: Bowser’s Castle.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
It began on a peaceful Thursday morning. (If you thought the Koopalings would be in elementary school, or school in general, then think again!) Iggy was walking down the hallway, minding his own business. Suddenly, he spotted Larry carrying seed packets and Piranha Plant pots to his room. However, Larry was having a hard time doing so, so Iggy went over to help him. “Let me get that for you,” Iggy said, happy to help.
Iggy grabbed half of the load that Larry was carrying. Larry was flattered by Iggy’s act of kindness. “Thanks,” Larry said thankfully.
“No prob,” Iggy said. “I’m happy to help a brother in need.”
Larry thought for a moment and said, “Speaking of brother, where’s Lemmy? Aren’t you two usually together?”
“Yep,” Iggy responded. “We’re always together, except when one of us has to go to the bathroom.”
Larry gave Iggy a friendly punch on the arm. “I knew that!” Larry said. “Anyway, where is he?”
“He’s in our room,” Iggy informed. “He’s cleaning up the place.” Larry started to look worried. “What’s the matter?” Iggy asked, concerned.
“Don’t you know that Lemmy’s idea of clean is a pigsty?”
Iggy wagged his finger and said, “Nonsense! I’ve seen Lemmy clean our room zillions of times before, and he always did a good job.”
“Does he ever get mad at you when he does all the work and all you do is lay back and relax?”
Iggy shook his head and said, “Nope. Lemmy’s never gets mad at me. He’s my best friend and nothing, and I mean nothing, could change that.”
“By the way,” Larry started, “how do you trick Lemmy into cleaning your room?”
Iggy responded, “I don’t trick him. I just tell Lemmy that King Dad would give him more allowance if he cleaned our shared room.”
“And?” Larry asked.
“Nothing,” Iggy answered. “King Dad gives him the same amount of coins. Actually, he gives him less and less the more times Lemmy does it.”
Larry thought for a moment and said, “So you get out of cleaning your room by lying?”
“Yeah, that about sums it up,” Iggy said. He then looked at his watch and said, “Well, I should get going. I need to see how Lemmy did. See ya.”
Larry waved goodbye. “See ya.”
With that, Iggy ran back to his and Lemmy’s room. Larry started to walk towards his room, but he tripped over the load that Iggy was supposed to help carry to his room, and dropped all of the stuff he was carrying as well. “Iggy, you’re gonna pay!” Larry said angrily under his breath.
Roy was within
earshot range and heard what Larry said. Roy saw Larry brushing off and
said, “Let me know if you need help with that,” Roy said, a sneaky smile
on his face.
Chapter 2: The Argument and the Breakup
The inside of Iggy and Lemmy’s room looked like a hurricane had blown through. A hurricane with rainbow hair, that is. Lemmy was playing with Iggy’s collection of Super Bowser figures. “Take this, Mario!” Lemmy yelled. Lemmy raised his left arm, figure in hand, and smashed it upon the Mario figure. Both figures broke. Lemmy sighed. “Oh well. Guess those are the last ones.” Lemmy picked up the two figures and tossed them into a huge pile of broken figures.
As Iggy was reaching for the door handle to his room, he heard an explosion inside. “What the?” Iggy asked, concerned. Upon opening the door, he found the broken toy pile, holes in the walls, and Lemmy riding on Iggy’s newly invented Mario Crusher 2000. “My figurines!” Iggy shrieked. “My wall!” Iggy then noticed Lemmy riding on his robot. “My Mario Crusher 2000!” Iggy hollered in terror.
Lemmy was having loads of fun. “Yeehaw!” Lemmy yelled happily. “Get along, lil’ robot!” Lemmy looked down and noticed a large, red button that read, “Self-destruct. DO NOT TOUCH!” Lemmy was curious. “Ooh. What does this button do?”
Iggy looked up to see Lemmy about to push the button. “No Lemmy!” Iggy yelled. “Don’t press-“
Lemmy pressed the button before Iggy could finish. The machine made siren noises and suddenly exploded. Iggy and Lemmy’s room had a huge hole in it, and Iggy’s face was black with smoke.
“-That button,” Iggy finished.
Lemmy’s face was black, too. “Whew! That was fun!” Lemmy said, laughing at the same time. He then saw Iggy with a red face. “Oh, hi Iggy,” Lemmy said nonchalantly. Iggy removed his glasses, pulled out a cloth, wiped his glasses and his face, placed his glasses back on his face, and yelled in a loud tone, “LEMMY! WHAT DID YOU DO?!”
Lemmy looked around slowly and said, “Gee. Uh… I don’t know.”
Iggy was furious now. “What do you mean you don’t know?!” Iggy shrieked angrily.
Lemmy stood up and said slowly, “I… don’t… know.”
Iggy was outraged. “I’ll tell you what you did! You destroyed my Super Bowser figurine collection, made humungous holes in the walls, obliterated my Mario Crusher 2000, and completely terrorized our room! It’s like a huge cluster of Bob-ombs exploded in our room!”
Lemmy picked up his ball that he'd placed on the ground, got on top of it, and rolled towards the door slowly. “Look, I don’t see what the problem is,” Lemmy said. “In fact, you should be thanking me.”
Iggy was shocked. “How should I be thanking YOU?” Iggy said, angry.
“Well,” Lemmy started, “first of all, toys are meant to be played with.”
Iggy made a comeback. “They’re also meant to be collected, too, especially figurines.”
After Iggy made that comment, Lemmy continued. “Whatever. Second of all, now that most of the wall’s gone, you don’t have to open a window for air. Also, you have a nice sky view. Best of all, there’s no danger in having a hole in your room. It’s completely safe.”
“How is a hole in your room safe?” Iggy asked. “We’re 100 stories off of the ground. Having a hole in your wall at that height is completely dangerous.”
Lemmy looked at Iggy in disbelief. “Oh yeah?” Lemmy asked. “Prove it.”
A Koopa Troopa walked in. “Hey guys,” the Koopa said, “what’s up?” Suddenly, the Koopa slipped on one of Lemmy’s spare balls. He then fell out of the hole in the wall. “AAAAAAAAAAAA!” the Koopa screamed as he fell to his impending doom.
Iggy held out hand. “Told ya,” Iggy said.
Lemmy thought of another point. “Yeah, okay. Finally, that robot you made, the Mario Stamper-“
“Mario Crusher 2000,” Iggy corrected.
“Whatever!” Lemmy yelled. “Anyway, Ludwig helped you make that robot, so it was bound to blow up at any time. You should be thankful I pushed that button.”
Iggy became outraged. “Those reasons were completely stupid! I still don’t see how I should be thanking you! In fact, you should be begging me to forgive you. And I know just what you can do so that I won’t be tempted to tell King Dad.”
“What’s that?” Lemmy asked, wanting to know the answer.
“Well,” Iggy started, “for starters, you can clean up the mess you made.”
Lemmy looked around and said, “What mess?”
Iggy once again became irritated. “JUST DO IT!” Iggy shrieked.
Lemmy became irritated as well. “Why should I listen to you? You’re not the boss of me!” Lemmy stated.
“But I’m older than you!” Iggy said, making a point.
Lemmy rolled his eyes and said, “Yeah. By like, two minutes. That still doesn’t prove that you can boss me around.”
“I’m also smarter than you,” Iggy stated.
“No you’re not!” Lemmy said, raising his voice.
Iggy headed for his drawing table, pulled out two long pieces of paper, held them out, and said, “These report cards from when we used to go to school can prove it,” Iggy said. He held up his report card. “My report card has straight A’s,” Iggy stated.
“So?” Lemmy asked, wondering where Iggy was going with this.
Iggy then held up Lemmy’s report card and said, “Yours has five F’s and an X-.”
Lemmy was appalled. “Are you going somewhere with this?” Lemmy asked, annoyed.
“Yes I am,” Iggy said. “There’s no such thing as an X-!” Lemmy was about to make a statement, but Iggy interrupted, “So that’s why I have the right to boss you around. I’m older and smarter than you.”
Lemmy became infuriated. “That doesn’t prove anything! All it proves is that you’re a neat freak because you’re obsessed with a clean room, and that you’re a dork because you got straight A’s!”
Iggy became infuriated also. “And all you’re proving is that you’re a doofus because you get bad grades, you’re lazy because you won’t clean our room-“
“I’M lazy?!” Lemmy asked, more irritated than before. “You’re the one who’s not going to clean-“
“WILL YOU LET ME FINISH?!” Iggy yelled. “Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes. And finally, it proves you’re still a baby because you can’t walk without the help from a stupid beach ball!”
Lemmy became even madder. “Oh yeah? Well, watch this, four eyes!” Lemmy jumped off his ball, tried walking around without help, and tripped.
“Ha!” Iggy said, rubbing it in Lemmy’s face. “Told ya, shorty! You can’t even take two steps without falling!”
Lemmy, wanting to prove Iggy wrong, took two steps without his ball, and still tripped. Iggy fell on the floor laughing. Suddenly, Lemmy’s whole body turned red. He got back on top of his ball and said, “Big deal! At least I don’t need a pair of stupid glasses to help me see!”
Iggy stopped laughing and said, “Oh yeah?” Iggy took off his glasses. “Read ‘em and weep!” Iggy said. He started walking, but bumped into an undamaged wall and fell to the floor. Now Lemmy was the one laughing. Iggy became so enraged that he opened another drawer of his drawing table, pulled out a box of tacks, took one out, and headed towards Lemmy. He lifted his right arm, tack in hand with the point facing up, and said, “Laugh while you can, small fry, ‘cause you won’t be laughing for long!”
Iggy suddenly brought the tack down hard upon Lemmy’s beach ball. The ball popped, and Lemmy fell to the floor. Iggy started laughing again. Tears started to well up in Lemmy’s eyes, but he remembered something and said, “Big deal! I got spares.” He then picked up the ball the Koopa Troopa had tripped over earlier and got on top of it. Iggy picked up another tack and popped the ball with it. Lemmy crawled (since he couldn’t walk without a ball) over to a closet and opened it. Iggy was staring with his jaw dropped open as he saw a closet full of hundreds of balls.
Just as Lemmy thought that he had bested Iggy, Iggy grabbed his red wand out of his shell and created a ball of blinding light. Lemmy held his hand over his eyes, and when the light was gone, Lemmy put his hand by his side and saw a giant tack floating in midair. Now Lemmy was the one with a dropped jaw. Iggy aimed for the closet, lifted his wand back, and thrust the wand forward. The tack followed the wand’s movement, and when Iggy thrust the wand forward, the tack crashed into the closet full of balls, popping every last one of them.
Lemmy could not hold the tears back any longer. He started bawling like a baby. Iggy started rolling on the floor laughing again. “THAT’S IT!” Lemmy shrieked, still crying. “IT’S PAYBACK TIME!” Lemmy swiped Iggy’s glasses off of his face. He then threw them on the ground, leaving Iggy to watch in horror. But that’s not all. Lemmy stamped, kicked, jumped on, and spat on Iggy’s glasses. After Lemmy was done, he handed the damaged glasses to Iggy, a sinister smile on his face. Iggy took his glasses and put them back on. Upon doing so, one of the lenses fell out and shattered upon contact with the hard floor.
After the lens had fallen, Iggy said furiously, “THAT TEARS IT!” Without a moment to waste, Iggy ran over to Lemmy’s computer, which contained all of Lemmy’s Land’s data, unplugged the PC, and chucked it out of the hole in the wall. After five minutes, the computer exploded after hitting the ground. Lemmy was so outraged by Iggy’s action that he stole Iggy’s wand and snapped it into two pieces. Iggy did the same, but this time he clonked Lemmy in the head with Lemmy’s wand and then snapped it in two. Then, Iggy and Lemmy glared at each other, both of them as red as a fire truck. “YOU’RE THE WORST BROTHER EVER!” Iggy and Lemmy yelled at the same time.
After that comment, Iggy and Lemmy got into a street fight. The fight was so loud that all of the Koopalings could hear it, even though the door was closed. The other siblings saw the fight through another hole in the wall that exposed the hallway. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Roy yelled. The other Koopalings stared at Roy, except for Iggy and Lemmy. Roy looked at the others and said, “What?”
Suddenly, Bowser heard the noise and saw the Koopalings huddled up around a hole. “What’s going on?” Bowser asked himself. Bowser walked over to where the others were to find Iggy and Lemmy fighting. “WHAT IS GOING ON OVER HERE?!” Bowser yelled, trying to stop the fight. It worked.
All of the Koopalings, even Iggy and Lemmy, looked at Bowser. “Hello! I’m asking all of you a question!”
Suddenly, Iggy blurted, “I’ll tell you what’s going on here!”
Then Lemmy yelled, “No! Don’t let this loser tell you! I’ll tell you the whole story!”
The twins started talking so fast that Bowser couldn’t understand them. Iggy’s final comment was, “You know what? I wish I never had a twin. I wish I was twinless!”
Lemmy, still mad, said, “Fine! Consider yourself detwinerized!”
Iggy and Lemmy walked out of the hole that led to the hallway (Lemmy walked out first) and went their separate ways; Iggy went left and Lemmy went right. Both had their arms crossed and their eyes squinted. Iggy bumped into a wall. “Excuse me, ma’am,” Iggy said, not knowing it was a wall. He then bumped into a Bowser Statue. “Sorry, sir,” Iggy said, once again not knowing what it really was. Lemmy kept falling because he couldn’t walk, but he just kept getting up and trying again.
Bowser had a confused look on his face. “Could someone please tell me what went on here?” Bowser asked in a confused way.
All of the Koopalings
walked away. “Aw man! Fight’s over,” Roy said disappointed. Bowser stood
in his spot for a few seconds, shrugged his shoulders, and walked off as
well.
Chapter 3: Night of Terror!
Later that night,
around 11:55 PM, the Koopa family went to bed. Iggy left his banged up
room and went to the kitchen to have a midnight snack. After Iggy
came back from walking around and bumping into things, he found that Lemmy
had left a note calling Iggy a booger-breathed fart face and saying that
the room was all
his. Lemmy had
moved out. However, Iggy had to feel around to find his way to the kitchen;
he was wearing
the broken pair
of glasses that Lemmy had terrorized. As Iggy was cutting through the Lounge
Room, a
net covered in
cans fell on top of him. Iggy was struggling to get the net off of him.
He was screaming.
Suddenly, a shadow
on a ball rode over to the light switch and turned the lights on. It was
Lemmy.
Lemmy rolled back
to where Iggy was squirming, stood over the trapped Iggy, looked down with
a smug
smile, and said,
“Well, well. Look what the ugly train dropped off. It’s the four-eyed freak
show!” Lemmy
started laughing.
Iggy struggled
a little bit longer, and then managed to get back on his feet. “What is
this?”
Iggy asked.
Lemmy shook his head. “It’s a burglar alarm. I thought YOU said that YOU were the smart one.”
Iggy threw the
canny net (get it?) on the floor and glared furiously at Lemmy. Lemmy broke
the temporary
silence. “What
are you doing in my room?”
Iggy gave Lemmy a weird look. “Your room?”
“That’s right,” Lemmy said. “My room, since my old room is inhabited by an immature beast.”
Iggy was surprised. “Wow, Lemmy! I’m surprised you know what those words means!” Iggy said in a sarcastic way. Lemmy rolled his eyes. Iggy continued. “Anyway, this isn’t your room.”
Lemmy looked around him and said, “Then why is my new computer in here, why is my newly inflated ball in here, and more importantly, why are YOU in here?”
Iggy was irritated. “Because this is the living room, and yeah.” Iggy held two fingers under his neck, and then continued, “LIVIN’!”
“Maybe, but not for long!” Lemmy said threateningly.
“Okay, you wanna tussle?!” Iggy said angrily, holding up his fists.
Lemmy gave Iggy a funny look. “Tussle?” Lemmy asked.
Bowser and Clawdia were standing in the entryway. Bowser yawned and said, “What’s going on here?”
Iggy and Lemmy
jumped, not expecting Bowser to be awake at this hour. “Um...” Iggy
and Lemmy said at the
same time. Suddenly,
the two started talking really fast again, trying to blame the other one
for what was
going on.
Bowser suddenly raised his voice. “Hey! Hey! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!” Bowser roared. Iggy and Lemmy stopped yelling. “Will one of you two bickering brothers please tell me-“
“Lemmy’s putting his new room in the Lounge Room!” Iggy interrupted.
Bowser was about to speak again, but Lemmy blurted, “Iggy threatened to beat me up!” Suddenly, they started talking really fast again.
“Hey! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!” Bowser hollered again, this time so loud that the whole castle was shaking. Once again, Iggy and Lemmy stopped talking. “You two wanna act like children? Fine! Iggy, go to your dinged up room! Lemmy, you can do what you want, but you can’t sleep in the Lounge Room!”
“Aw man!” Iggy said, disappointed.
“That’s not fair!” Lemmy whined.
As Bowser made his way back to Clawdia, the net of cans fell on Bowser, making him fall to the ground. Iggy, Clawdia, and Lemmy had their jaws dropped. Bowser turned to the twins slowly, red in his eyes. Iggy pointed at Lemmy. “LEAVE NOW!” Bowser roared.
Iggy and Lemmy ran out of the Lounge Room. Just as Iggy was near the entryway, he ran into a wall and fell backwards. “Watch where you’re going, old lady!” Iggy said rudely. Iggy then got back up, brushed himself off, and then ran to his room.
A little while
later, Bowser had to go to the bathroom. When he got into bathroom near
Iggy’s room and
closed the door,
he screamed. “Hey,” Lemmy greeted. Bowser became serious. “You can’t sleep
in the
bathroom either!”
Bowser scolded. He then kicked Lemmy out. Lemmy took off, all of his stuff
in arms, in
hopes of finding
a place to sleep.
Iggy was staring
at his hole-infested ceiling. Iggy sighed and said, “That’s it! I can’t
sleep like this. Stupid
Lemmy! He just
had to destroy my room.” He then got out of bed and continued, “I’m outta
here.” Iggy
walked towards
the door, somehow without bumping into anything, and, like Lemmy, went
to find a new place to sleep for the night.
Lemmy started at Morton’s room. He was about to knock on the door, but he stopped his fist in midair. “What am I doing?” Lemmy whispered. He then rolled off to another room.
Iggy knocked on Ludwig’s laboratory door (Ludwig’s room was also his lab). Fortunately for Iggy, Ludwig answered. “What do you want?” Ludwig asked drowsily.
“Can I bunk with you tonight?” Iggy asked.
Ludwig yawned and said, “Okay. But just don’t touch anything!”
“You got it,” Iggy reassured.
Five minutes later, Ludwig’s door and all of his room was blown up and Iggy was pushed out. “I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING!” Ludwig whisper-yelled.
Iggy shrugged and said, “How was I supposed to know your “bed” was actually a Bob-omb-like robot. Who makes robots that look like beds, anyway?”
“JUST GET OUT!” Ludwig yelled. Iggy walked off, his head hanging low.
Cut to the inside
of Wendy’s room. Wendy was sleeping, when all of a sudden, a loud snoring
noise woke
her up. Wendy
got up, turned on her Cheep Cheep lamp, and found Lemmy sleeping on the
floor, snoring.
“You’ve got to
be kidding me!” Wendy said in an annoyed way. She took off one of her shoes
and tossed it at Lemmy. He was still sleeping. Then Wendy got out of bed
and kicked him with the other shoed-foot in the
face. “Wake up!”
Wendy yelled, trying to wake Lemmy up. The attempt failed; Lemmy didn’t
react.
Wendy thought
of how she could wake Lemmy up, and soon she got an idea. She grabbed a
bucket, went to
the bathroom,
poured cold water into the bucket, and tiptoed back to her room. As soon
as she got back, she dumped the cold water over Lemmy. “Mmm. Cold water,”
Lemmy sleeptalked, smiling. He then licked his
lips.
“Ugh!” Wendy whined. She then went back to the bathroom, poured hot into the bucket water this time, and went back to her room. Once again, she dumped the now warm liquid onto Lemmy, hoping that this time, her plan would work. It did.
“Agh!” Lemmy yelled
in shock. When Lemmy looked up, he saw Wendy standing over him. She was
tapping
the foot without
a shoe. “Hi Wendy,” Lemmy greeted. Wendy did not greet back.
“What are you doing here?” Wendy asked.
Lemmy scratched
his head, tying to remember why he’d come in
here. “Oh yeah!”
Lemmy said finally. “I remember. Since Iggy is sleeping in my room, I believe
that the room
is now toxic.”
“Are you joking?”
Wendy asked, amazed at Lemmy’s excuse. “That’s the silliest thing I’ve
ever
heard! Iggy’s
not poisonous!”
“Try livin’ with him,” Lemmy mumbled.
Lemmy then went
back to sleep, but Wendy woke him up by yelling, “GET OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE
I
TELL KING DAD!”
Lemmy got up and stared at Wendy with puppy dog eyes. “But I’ve got nowhere else to go,” Lemmy said pitifully.
“Then go back to your room,” Wendy said crankily.
Lemmy was shocked. “Are you serious?” Lemmy asked, astonished. “Have you seen what Iggy did to the place? It’s a nightmare! I can’t go back there!”
Wendy was still cranky. “Well, you can’t sleep here.”
“Please?” Lemmy pleaded.
“No,” Wendy answered.
“Pleeease?”
“No.”
“Pleeeeeeeeeeassssssse?”
“No!”
“Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeassssssssssse?”
“NO!”
“PPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEAAASSEE?”
“OKAY, YOU CAN
SLEEP HERE!” Wendy yelled, annoyed. She was now much calmer. “Just try
not to snore
so loud, okay?”
Wendy asked nicely.
Lemmy was thinking. “Well…” Lemmy started.
Wendy was trying to be sweet and calm. “I’m asking you, as your favorite sister…your only sister. Try to snore as quiet as you can. Please?”
Lemmy smiled. “No problem!”
Wendy was smiling,
too. “Good,” Wendy said happily. As soon as Wendy turned out
the lights and
went back to bed, Lemmy started snoring at the same snore level that he
had woken
Wendy up with.
Wendy moaned and put two pillows on her head.
Iggy’s next destination
was Larry’s room. He tapped on the door lightly, and soon Larry cracked
the door
open. “What?”
Larry asked irritated.
“Can I sleep with you tonight, at least until morning, when the construction Koopas will be able to fix my room?” Iggy asked.
Larry thought for a moment and said, “Oh all right. You just have to do me a little favor.”
“Anything, just name it,” Iggy said happily.
“You have to water my Piranha Plants every five minutes,” Larry said.
“Is that all? No problemo!” Iggy said reassuringly. Larry then opened the door and Iggy went inside.
Another five minutes later, Iggy was booted out of Larry’s room. “I can’t believe you!” Larry yelled furiously.
“What’d I do wrong?” Iggy asked, confused.
“What did I tell you to do?!” Larry asked. “You told me to water your plants every five minutes.”
“And what did you do?”
“Um, I don’t know.”
Larry slapped himself on the face and said, “You overwatered my plants, that’s what you did!”
Iggy was confused. “No I didn’t. Besides, you didn’t tell me how much water to use.”
“Yeah?” Larry said angrily. “Well go destroy someone else’s plants, will ya? Goodbye!”
Larry tried to
slam the door, but Iggy stopped it with his foot. “But what about watering
your plants every
other five minute
interval?”
“HELLO! EARTH TO DOOFUS! MY PLANTS ARE DEAD! WHY SHOULD I OVERKILL THEM BY WATERING THEM SOME MORE? USE YOUR HEAD FOR ONCE!” Larry shrieked, tears in his eyes. He then slammed the door on Iggy’s face. Iggy fell backwards, became mad, and then started to feel bad. After his quick mood swings, Iggy left in search of another place to sleep.
Last but not least,
Iggy went to Roy’s room. He was about to knock on the door, but he stopped
his fist in
midair. “Wait!
What am I doing?” Iggy said to himself, wondering why he would want to
sleep with Roy.
Unfortunately
for Iggy, his comment was a little too loud, and it woke Roy up. When Roy
cracked the door
open and grabbed
Iggy’s arm, Iggy jumped. Roy then dragged Iggy inside his room, slammed
the door shut,
locked the twelve
locks on his door, and started to beat up Iggy in the dark. Since Iggy
couldn’t see in the
dark, he was
completely helpless. “AAAAAAAAAAAA!” Iggy shrieked, hoping his yell of
terror would wake
someone up so
that they could get help. Roy started laughing maniacally.
Chapter 4: The Others Are Takin’ A Stand!
Now it was morning
time. In the kitchen, all of the Koopalings were having breakfast (Bowser
and Clawdia
always have breakfast
in their room).All of the Koopalings, except for Lemmy, Morton, and Roy,
had had a terrible night. Ludwig was furious because Iggy had blown up
his room/laboratory, and Larry was outraged
because Iggy
had killed all of his plants. Like I said, Morton, Lemmy, and Roy had a
great night’s sleep.
“Wow! I had the
greatest dream last night,” Roy announced.
“WE DON’T WANNA HEAR IT!” Larry and Ludwig yelled at the same time.
Roy took a step
back, but then stepped forward again. “Well, too bad, cuz you’re gonna
hear about it,” Roy
yelled. Ludwig
and Larry shut their mouths. “Anyway, my dream was that I was beating up
Iggy in the dark
and-“
“That wasn’t a
dream,” Ludwig interrupted. “That was real. We could hear Iggy screaming
and you
laughing sort
of like me.”
Roy scratched
his head. “Really?” Roy asked, not believing what Ludwig had said. He then
shook his head
and said, “Nah!
You’re lyin’! Something that awesome could only happen in a dream.”
Ludwig rolled his eyes and said, “Whatever.”
Iggy stepped into the kitchen with brand new glasses and said, “Ow, my head.”
Roy looked at Iggy, then back at Ludwig and Larry. He then said, “I’m dreaming again. Nobody pinch me, OR ELSE!” After saying that, he jumped on top of Iggy and started beating him up.
Lemmy then rolled into the kitchen and said happily, “Wow! What a great night last night!”
Then Wendy walked into the room. Everyone was staring at her, even Roy stopped beating up Iggy and looked at her. Since she hadn’t got enough beauty sleep last night, she was extremely ugly. In fact, she was so ugly, that Lemmy’s ball popped and Iggy’s glasses and Roy’s shades broke. “Aw man!” Iggy said, disappointed. “I just bought those new glasses off of Bbay!” In case you didn’t know, Bbay is short for Bowser Bay.
Roy thought for a moment and said, “Now, where was I?” He then looked at Iggy, smiled and then said, “Oh! I remember!” He then started beating Iggy up again.
After Wendy and
Roy took a seat, Iggy and Lemmy got up and stared at each other. “Humph!”
Iggy and
Lemmy said at
the same time. They then headed towards the door. Lemmy kept falling and
Iggy kept bumping into stuff. “Move it or lose it, bub!’ Iggy yelled to
the wall he bumped into. Eventually, both of them made
their way out
of the kitchen.
After they left,
the others had a talk. “I can’t take it anymore!” Ludwig yelled in frustration.
“Those two are
causing more
trouble when they’re alone then when they’re together. It’s driving me
nuts!” The others,
except for Morton
and Roy nodded in agreement.
“Honestly, I don’t see what the problem is,” Morton said solemnly. “They haven’t caused me any trouble, grief, sorrows, frustration-“
“That’s ‘cause they didn’t want to listen to your constant yapping!” Ludwig said coldly.
Morton thought about this for a moment, and then said, “You’re right! That’s how they’re giving me grief, pity, ang-“
“WE GET IT!” the others yelled.
Morton stopped talking, then continued, “Sorry. Anyway, since they’re not listening to me, that’s how they’re driving me crazy, bonkers, nuts, cuckoo-“
Roy snatched Wendy’s bow off of her head and stuffed it into Morton’s mouth. “Well, he can keep it!” Wendy said, angry with Roy. Roy shrugged.
“Because of those bickering bozos, Iggy killed all of my plants,” Larry said unhappily.
“Because of Lemmy’s snoring, I couldn’t get my 23 hours of beauty sleep,” Wendy said in disappointment.
After she said
this, the stool Ludwig was sitting on broke, causing Ludwig to fall to
the ground. “I’d shoot for
24,” Roy whispered
to Larry. Both of them snickered.
Ludwig then got up and said, “So we all agree that Iggy and Lemmy separated is worse than getting sent to the dungeon?”
Everyone except Roy nodded. Roy shrugged and said, “I don’t see what the big deal is. If they’re causin’ you guys misery, then that’s fine with me! It doesn’t matter how bad they annoy me. I’ll still beat both of them up!” Roy then started laughing. Everyone gave him a stern look. “What?” Roy asked, not understanding why the others were looking at him like that.
“Roy, I’m being serious,” Ludwig said strictly.
“So was I,” Roy said.
“ROY!” everyone yelled.
Roy sighed and said, “Oh fine. Just don’t be shocked if you wake up breathing through a tube!”
Ludwig ignored the comment and repeated, “So we all agree?”
Everyone nodded.
Roy nodded his head slowly and scowled. Ludwig smiled and said, “Good!
Then here’s the plan.” Everyone, including Roy, huddled around the kitchen
table to hear Ludwig’s idea.
Chapter 5: The Series of Plans
After hearing
the plan, the Koopalings got to work putting it into action. Fifteen minutes
later, there were two presents in the hallway (Bowser’s Castle has two
hallways, so one present was put in each). The striped
present was for
Iggy, and contained a new pair of glasses; and the blue polka-dotted one
was Lemmy’s,
and contained
a new beach ball, inflated of course. The Koopalings watched from the hall
closets. Roy,
Larry, and Ludwig
were in the hallway closet that had Iggy’s present in the hallway, and
Wendy and Morton
(ha ha!) were
in the hallway closet that had Lemmy’s present outside. The siblings talked
to each other
using shell phones.
“Ready guys?” Ludwig asked on his shell phone.
Wendy and Morton received the message and said, “We’re ready!”
Ludwig lifted his thumb off of the talk button and said to his team, “You guys ready?”
“YES! JUST GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!” Roy and Larry yelled in unison.
Ludwig covered his ears and said, “All right! All right, sheesh!” Ludwig put his thumb back on the talk button and said confidently, “All right, guys. LET’S DO THIS!”
“YEAH!” the Koopalings yelled all together.
Suddenly, Ludwig’s team heard someone coming, so they got quiet. Unfortunately, it wasn’t Iggy. It was Mario!
Mario had entered
because he had forgotten something the last time he’d come to save Princess
Peach. “Now I-a know I-a left it-a somewhere,” Mario said to himself, looking
for his precious object. He then said,
“Found it-a!”
and headed towards the table next to the closet. He grabbed his thing,
walked back to where
he had jumped
in, and said, “So that’s-a where I-a left my-a spaghetti fork! I-a knew
I-a left it somewhere in-a a hallway.” He then noticed the present for
Iggy. He stared at it, then said, “What’s-a this?”
He walked over
to it and read the tag. “To: Iggy. From: Your loving brother, Lemmy,” Mario
read. He then
opened it and
saw the glasses. Mario thought for a moment, and then came up with a sinister
idea. He took
out the glasses
and placed a spring with a pie attached to it inside. He then checked the
other hallway to see if there was a present there. Once again, Mario found
it, read the tag, which said, “To: Lemmy. From: Your
caring brother,
Iggy”, opened up the present, took out the ball, and placed a spring with
a boxing glove
attached to it
inside. Don’t you just LOVE the cruel irony?
Mario started laughing and said, “There! That’ll-a teach you-a to mess with-a Mario!” He then went to the window he’d jumped through, used a Super Leaf (you didn’t think that Mario would be dumb enough to jump out of a 100-foot castle without some kind of parachute, did you?), and flew back to his house.
After that, the
Koopalings got quiet again, because they heard footsteps again. This time,
it was Lemmy and
Iggy, but they
were in the separate hallways. Both teams cracked the door open to see
if the plan would
work.
Iggy got to his
present first. He squinted and read, “To: Iggy. From: Your loving brother,
Lemmy.” Iggy
then smiled and
said, “Aw. Maybe that rainbow-haired peewee isn’t so bad after all.”
Lemmy was next, but he got to the present slower than Iggy did because he kept tripping. He then finally found the present and read the card. “To: Lemmy. From: Your caring brother, Iggy.” He smiled as well and said, “Aw. Maybe that four-eyed, Goomba-breathed freak isn’t so bad after all.”
As Iggy and Lemmy
were starting to open their presents, the teams became anxious and excited.
When Iggy
and Lemmy finally
opened the presents, the teams’ hopes were crushed when the pie hit Iggy
in the face and the boxing glove bopped Lemmy in between the eyes. The
twins fell backwards, and Ludwig’s, Larry’s,
Wendy’s, Morton’s,
and Roy’s jaws dropped. Both of the twins became enraged.
“Why that short-“ Iggy started.
“Why that four-eyed-“ Lemmy started as well.
“Rainbow-haired-“ Iggy continued.
“Dork-breathed-“ Lemmy continued.
“Leprechaun-housing-“
“Brainiaced-“
“JERKFACE!” Iggy and Lemmy yelled at the same time. After that comment, both of the twins stomped out of the room. Of course, Lemmy fell a couple of times, and Iggy bumped into things.
All of the Koopalings
exited the closets and headed towards Ludwig’s room to talk. Cut to Ludwig’s
destroyed room,
where Ludwig was saying, “Okay, so this plan didn’t work as I had hoped.”
All of the
Koopalings growled.
Ludwig gulped and continued. “But it wasn’t my fault. Someone tampered
with our
gifts.”
“I bet it was Roy!” Larry blurted out. “He didn’t want Iggy and Lemmy to get back together in the first place.”
Roy glared angrily
at Larry and said, “Hey! Don’t blame this on me, piranha brain! I was in
the closet the
whole time! You
should’ve seen me, considerin’ the fact that you were with us!”
Larry thought for a moment, and then said, “Yeah, but you could’ve swapped the gifts before we put them in the hallways.”
Roy grabbed Larry and pulled him so close that their faces (not lips!) were touching. “You callin’ me a liar?!” Roy asked furiously through his gritted teeth.
“Well…” Larry started.
Roy yelled, “WRONG ANSWER!” and started to beat up Larry.
“Guys!” Ludwig yelled, trying to break up the fight.
Now Wendy had the mike, so to speak. “Hey, I got a question for you, Ludwig!” Wendy said. “Why did you pair me up with Morton?”
Morton was shocked. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“What do you think it means, mega molars? I think that Ludwig was pairing us up because he thought that we would make a great couple,” Wendy said rudely.
Morton blushed and said, “Well, I sort of thought that we made a great couple.”
Wendy was outraged.
“WHAT?!” Wendy yelled. She then started beating up Morton. Now there were
two
fights happening
in Ludwig’s room.
“Guys, guys!” Ludwig yelled again. “GUYS! GUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!” The fights were still going on. Ludwig thought for a moment, came up with an idea, went over to his desk, got out some blueprint paper, and started drawing. After a few minutes, he then got some parts and started making a new invention.
15 minutes later…
As the fighting
was still going on, an extremely loud shrill sound was made. Everyone stopped
fighting and
covered their
ears. Ludwig was holding a mechanical Koopa whistle. He stopped blowing,
and everyone
took their hands
off of their ears. “Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s get back to
business,” Ludwig said,
calm again.
Larry was confused. “You spent fifteen minutes, thirty-eight seconds, 4 milliseconds, and 29 terraseconds working on that hunk of junk?” Everyone was staring at Larry. Larry then shrugged and said, “Uh, but who’s counting, anyway?” He then cracked a smile.
“This Koopa whistle
isn’t a hunk of junk!” Ludwig said. After saying that, the whistle exploded
in his face.
Ludwig blinked
and said, “Okay, it IS a piece of junk.” Ludwig brushed himself off and
then got serious again. “Can we get back to business, please?” Ludwig asked
solemnly. All of the Koopalings nodded and sat down. “Thank you,” Ludwig
said.
Ludwig continued. “Anyway, as I was saying, I have a new plan.”
“This had better work, or else!” Roy said threateningly.
“This plan had better be Roy proof, or else!” Larry said threateningly. Roy glared angrily at Larry.
“I had better not be paired up with Morton, or else!” Wendy said threateningly. Wendy glanced at Morton, and Morton started blushing again. The fights were about to start again, but Ludwig interfered.
“Don’t worry.
Roy will be watched at all times, because this time, we’ll all be together
instead of separated,
so we don’t have
to worry about pair problems.” The others smiled.
“Here’s what we’re
going to do this time,” Ludwig said confidently. Once again, the team huddled
up to hear
Ludwig’s new
plan…
The Koopalings
hurried toward Iggy and Lemmy’s old room. The reason they hurried is because
Iggy had
nowhere to go,
and he would be back any minute with the construction Koopas. Anyway, the
team did all they could to clean up Iggy’s banged up room. They covered
up the holes. They swept up the piles of dust, dirt,
and broken toys
and robots. They straightened up the beds. And, last, but not least, they
all made a sign ith
Iggy and Lemmy
standing next to each other. The sign said “Home Sweet Home”.
The team gave
each other high fives. “There,” Ludwig said, impressed by the work done.
“That should get
Iggy and Lemmy
back together. Now to finish it off.” Ludwig wrote a note in Lemmy’s handwriting
saying that
he’d cleaned
the room for Iggy, and that he had left him a surprise in the top drawer
of the drawing table. The surprise was a new, completed collection of Super
Bowser figurines. With that done, Ludwig said
triumphantly,
“Now for Plan B!” The team then headed for Wendy’s room to execute Plan
B.
Iggy arrived a few minutes later with the construction Koopas. “There’s the mess, boys,” Iggy said, pointing to the messy room. Iggy was wearing a new pair of glasses that he, once again, bought from Bbay. The Koopas looked at the clean room, and then stared at Iggy. Iggy was confused. “What?” Iggy asked, wanting to know why they were staring at him.
The Koopas were mad. “You called us for THIS?” the lead CK (Construction Koopa) asked furiously. He was as tall and as muscular as Roy.
Iggy nodded his head and said, “Yeah. Get to it.”
The lead CK grabbed Iggy’s head and turned it towards the clean room. Iggy’s jaw dropped. The lead CK glared at Iggy for a few seconds, then said to his team, “False alarm, everyone. Let’s go home.” The CKs left, and the lead CK punched Iggy hard in the face, breaking his glasses. He then left as well.
Iggy lay unconscious
on the ground for a few minutes. While he was unconscious, Luigi bashed
through
with a Tanooki
Suit on and looked around for something. “I-a know I-a left it in-a this
room,” Luigi said to
himself. He had
left something when he’d had to save Mario and the princess. He looked
around, said, “Found it!” and ran over to the drawing table. He picked
up the item and said, “So that’s-a where I-a left my-a birthday present
for-a Mario. Too bad-a that his-a birthday has-a already passed-a.” He
then noticed the note on the desk. “What’s-a-this?” Luigi asked himself.
He picked up the note and read (in Luigi’s Italian accent):
Dear Iggy,
I-a hope you
like what I-a did to the place. I-a made this room clean, just for you-a.
There’s a surprise-a
waiting for
you-a in the first drawer of your drawing-a table. I-a hope you like it.
Your brother,
Lemmy
He opened the
drawer and found a collection of Super Bowser toys, with a few Stupor Mario
Bros. toys in
the completed
packet. Luigi grabbed them and said, “Well, I-a may have-a missed Mario’s-a
birthday, but I-a
can give this
to him-a on Brother’s Day-a.” Luigi started thinking for a moment, and
then came up with a
diabolical thought.
He threw away the present he’d come for, placed the figures in another
box, wrapped it,
wrote, “Happy
Brother’s Day! Your loving brother, Luigi” on a tag, placed it on the box,
took out a Bob-omb, lit the fuse, placed it in the drawer, and closed it.
Cruel irony, you’ve gotta love it! He started laughing and said, “There!
That’ll-a teach you-a not to-a capture my friends-a!” He then flew out
of the castle with his Tanooki suit.
After a few seconds,
Iggy woke up. Iggy moaned and said, “Ow! That guy hits hard!” He then noticed
the
note. “What’s
this?” Iggy asked himself as he got up and walked toward the table. He
then read the note
(you know what
it says, so I don’t have to repeat myself). “This better not be a trick!”
Iggy said angrily after
reading the note,
thinking about what had happened in the hallway.
Another note fell
from the letter. Iggy read, “P.S. This is NOT a trick.” Iggy smiled. “Okay
then!” Iggy said
happily. When
Iggy opened the drawer, his happy face turned into a look of terror. The
Bob-omb’s fuse was
almost gone,
and after a few seconds, the fuse was gone and the Bob-omb exploded. The
room looked just
like it had before
Ludwig and the others spruced it up.
Iggy’s face was black. Soon, it turned red. He started screaming.
Cut to Wendy’s room, where Lemmy was sleeping until he could find another place to sleep. Of course, Lemmy wasn’t sleeping now; it was 6:25 PM. He just wasn’t here because Plan B was put into action. Since you don’t know the plan, you’re probably stressing, so I’ll tell you.
Step 1 was to
make Lemmy comfortable so he wouldn’t get suspicious that something was
going on. Step 2
was for Wendy
to give Lemmy a glass of water. After the first glass was gone, Lemmy became
sad. “Want
some more?” Wendy
asked politely, trying not to make Lemmy sound suspicious.
Lemmy beamed and said, “Yes, ma’am!”
Step 3 was to
keep giving Lemmy water. Wendy poured Lemmy another glass of water. Lemmy
drank the
whole glass in
one gulp. “Want more?” Wendy asked.
“Yes, please!” Lemmy said, eager for more. A third glass was made, and it was also swallowed. Lemmy started going crazy. “More, more, MORE!” Lemmy shouted.
Wendy handed Lemmy
the pitcher she’d used to pour the water. Lemmy started drinking out of
the
pitcher. After
finishing it off, Lemmy begged for more. Wendy ran off screen, grabbed
a hose, and hurried
back to Lemmy.
Lemmy opened his mouth and Wendy activated the hose, which was on full
blast.
20 minutes later…
After the hose
had run out of water, Lemmy fell to the ground. He was as big as Mario
when Mario eats a
Mega Mushroom.
Suddenly, Lemmy started jumping up and down wildly. Wendy tried to look
confused.
“What’s wrong?”
Wendy asked. “Do you have to go to the bathroom?” Lemmy nodded slowly.
Wendy looked
up at Lemmy,
then she looked at the doorway.
Now Wendy tried
to look worried. “It looks like you’re too big to fit through the door.”
She walked over to
Lemmy and said,
“Oh well.” After that comment, Wendy kicked Lemmy. The kick was so hard
that Lemmy
crashed through
the normal-sized doorway. Wendy waved and said, “Take your time going to
the bathroom.” When the coast was clear, Wendy reported the status to everyone
on the shell phone. “Ok guys. The coast
is clear. The
bird flew the coop. Repeat, the bird flew the coop.”
Soon, the whole
team was in Wendy’s room. Finally, Step 4 was to finish updating Lemmy’s
Land. Lemmy had
already started
updating, but he couldn’t finish because he was too busy plotting revenge
against Iggy. As
Ludwig was working
on the computer, Roy was thinking about something. “I don’t get it,” Roy
said,
confused. “Your
plan was to make Lemmy drink so much water that he’d burst? How come I
never
think of
that when I beat
up Iggy from time to time?”
Ludwig glanced at Roy and said, “Because Iggy doesn’t have his own website! Now let me work!”
Roy stepped back and said, “Ok, ok, sheesh!”
Ludwig started typing fast, which startled the others. In fact, he was typing so fast that his fingers were turning red. After a few clicks and clanks, Ludwig said, “Done!” He then pushed Enter.
After doing so,
the entire website was updated. After a few seconds, Ludwig obtained some
paper and wrote another note saying that he had updated Lemmy’s Land. It
also had a bunch of gooey, mush,y brotherly love
stuff. Of course,
it was written in Iggy’s handwriting. Ludwig jumped up from the chair and
said successfully,
“If this doesn’t
get Iggy and Lemmy back to their reciprocal selves, then nothing in the
entire elliptical-shaped galaxy will.”
The others had confused looks on their faces. “Huh?” the others said in unison, confused.
Ludwig shook his
head and said, “Never mind.” He started for the door. “Come on,” Ludwig
commanded
the others. Surely,
they followed.
Luckily, the others left right before Lemmy came back from the bathroom. “Whew!” Lemmy said in relief, “That’s the last time I drink…” Lemmy started counting on his fingers and finished, “a lot of water.”
Lemmy started
toward his desk. “Now I can plot my revenge on Iggy all I want without
any interruptions.”
Lemmy started
laughing, but then stretched his arms, yawned, and said drowsily, “Well,
going to the
bathroom is tiring.
I should get some well deserved rest before I plan.” Lemmy got on top of
Wendy’s bed
and started to
drift off to Dream Land. As he was sleeping, a warp pipe appeared in the
middle of the room.
The person who
jumped out of the warp pipe was none other than Princess Peach!
Peach started
looking around. “Now I know it’s in here somewhere,” Peach said, looking
for something. I
know what you’re
thinking: why is this story about people losing things? Well, when you
get an answer, let
me know. Anyway,
Peach looked around, said, “Found it!” and went over to Lemmy’s desk. She
picked up the object and said, “So that’s where I left my spare dress.
I can’t believe I left this behind when I came to save
Mario, Luigi,
and Toad.”
Now there are
probably a million questions whizzing in your head right now, like, “Why
does Wendy have
Peach’s spare
dress in her room?” or, “Did Lemmy have it originally in his room?” but
let’s not repeat them
in case there
are young viewers reading this story... Darn it. Back on track, Peach noticed
the note on the
computer screen,
said, “What’s this?” and grabbed the note. I know, I know, De JA Vu. Now,
the note said:
Dear Lemmy,
I updated this website for you. Now that all of your work is done, you have a week to relax. I hope you like the craftsmanship I did on your website. Enjoy!
Your loving brother,
Iggy
Peach thought
for a moment, and then thought of a sneaky scheme. She pulled out a virus-infected
disk and
inserted it into
Lemmy’s computer tower’s disk drive. The virus had Iggy dancing on it.
Iggy had sent it to
Peach a month
ago, saying on the gift that Mario was the culprit. When Mario then came
over, Peach had hit Mario in the head with Perry. Mario had a humungous
pimple-looking bump on his head for weeks. Anyhow, Peach downloaded the
disk onto Lemmy’s Land.
When the download
was complete, Peach pressed Enter. The virus was now in Lemmy’s Land. Don’t
you just love cruel irony? Who doesn’t love cruel irony? Anyway, Peach
started laughing, yada yada yada, “That’ll
teach them not
to mess with my friends and my computer!” bla bla bla (the reason I’m skipping
is because
something like
this has happened before), and Peach jumped back into the warp pipe to
her castle. Suddenly, Lemmy woke up because he thought that he had heard
something. He looked around, shrugged, and got out of bed.
He stretched and
said, “Time to plot my revenge!” He then started laughing maniacally, but
quickly stopped
laughing when
he noticed the note. He read the note slowly. He then said threateningly,
“This better not be
a trap!” He remembered
the hallway incident. A smaller letter fell into Lemmy’s hand. It said,
“P.S. This is
NOT a trap.”
Lemmy smiled and said, “Well, okay then!”
He turned on his
computer and went to Lemmy’s Land. When he got there, the virus started
acting up.
Lemmy started
frantically trying to get rid of the virus. Soon, Lemmy was pulling hair
out of his head. After trying to disperse the virus and failing, the computer
said, “Error! Error! Virus detected! Deleting opened target!”
After hearing
this, Lemmy started running around in circles. A beep was heard after a
few seconds. Lemmy
stopped running.
“Lemmy’s Land deleted,” the computer said coldly, matter-of-factly. Lemmy’s
Land was
gone. Forever.
Lemmy started crying after hearing the sad news.
Meanwhile, in Iggy’s room, Iggy was crying also.
After a few minutes, the twins were furious at the other.
“Why that no good-” Iggy started.
“Why that sneaky Little-” Lemmy started as well.
“Multicolored-”
“Glasses wearing-”
“Rainbow-haired-”
“Four-eyed-”
“Circus Clowned-”
“Blind-as-a-bat-”
“DOOFUS!” Iggy yelled.
“IDIOT!” Lemmy yelled as well.
The twins then
left the rooms they were in and headed for the hallway. Meanwhile, back
at Ludwig’s new
room/laboratory,
the team was watching from the surveillance cameras. They were all getting
sleepy, when
suddenly an alarm
was sounded. “Oh!” Ludwig said, startled. “The camera picked up something!”
The alarm
stopped.
Roy gave Ludwig a weird look. “Why does your alarm have to do that every time something happens?” Roy asked crankily, rubbing his head.
Ludwig answered, “Because it could be the twins this time.”
The others moaned. “Well, what if it’s not them?” Wendy said, cranky as well. Ludwig was about to answer, but the he looked at the screen. He started jumping madly. The others were confused.
“IT’S THEM!” Ludwig screeched happily.
Suddenly, Ludwig was squished and could barely breathe, because after Ludwig had said this, the others ran to see if Ludwig was telling the truth. He was. The others started cheering. They suddenly became quiet to hear what was going on. Imagine the heartbreak (I SAID IMAGINE!) when Iggy said, outraged, “Why you rainbow-haired, ball riding, room wrecking, backstabbing JERK!” The teams’ jaws were dropped.
Lemmy yelled, “Why you four-eyed, website deleting, killer DIPSTICK!”
Iggy and Lemmy stared at each other. “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I NEVER DID THAT TO YOU!” Iggy and Lemmy said at the same time. Lemmy and Iggy stared at each other again and said at the same time, angrily, “LIAR!” The twins growled and shrieked, “THAT’S IT! THIS MEANS WAR!”
After saying that,
Iggy ran and Lemmy rolled back to their rooms to plan their battle strategies.
The team was crushed. Everyone, even Roy, who didn’t want Iggy and Lemmy
to get back together from the beginning, was on the verge of tears.
Chapter 6: The Horror! The Horror!
A few minutes
later, the team was eavesdropping on the twins’ self-conversations via
shell phone. You may
not have known
it, but Ludwig had more than one shell phone, and he put one in each room.
He placed them under the desks.
Anyway, the team listened to Iggy say, “That squirt is gonna regret messing with me and my room!”
Next was Lemmy. “That Quadraclops (if you don’t understand, then think of Cyclops) is gonna regret messing with me and my website!”
Ludwig was worried. “This is bad, guys,” Ludwig said in a worried tone. “W-a-r for them spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e for all of us.”
Roy interrupted. “Instead of having a spelling bee, why don’t we get to the point, Albert Idiotstein!”
Larry said, “Uh, what Roy means is, what are you saying, Ludwig?”
Ludwig turned and faced the other Koopalings, a grim look on his face. “It means, if they really do have a war, that war could get out of control.”
“Yeah, and?” Larry asked.
Ludwig continued, “I mean that the war could get a little destructive.”
“I see, go on.”
“If that war gets out of hand, then, then, THEN-“
Larry was snoring. I guess he was bored so he fell asleep. Roy took over. “COME ON, BRAINIAC, SPIT IT OUT!”
“Okay, sheesh!” Ludwig said. “Anyway, if the war gets too out of control, and if they get too beset with anger, then together, they could destroy the castle!”
Everyone except Ludwig, Roy, and Larry gasped. Larry woke up after hearing everyone’s loud gasps. “Mommy, I didn’t do it!” Larry said.
Roy bopped Larry
on the head. Larry fell backwards. Roy stood over him and said, excited,
“Did you hear what Fuzzbrain said, plant breath? He said that together,
Iggy and Lemmy could destroy Peach’s Castle!”
Everyone except
Larry and Roy fell on their faces. “WHAT?!” Roy asked, confused.
Ludwig got up and said, “Not Peach’s Castle, you numbskull! OUR CASTLE!”
After hearing
that sentence, Roy and Larry gasped. “WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” Roy shrieked,
shocked and
scared. His whole
body was white like a Boo.
Ludwig shook his head sadly and said, “It’s true. If Iggy and Lemmy had an actual war with cannons and stuff that they were going to use to kill one another but keep missing and hitting the castle, then they could destroy our castle in a matter of minutes! And they wouldn’t even know it, because each twin would be focused on destroying one another.”
After saying this, everyone heard someone crying. It was Wendy! She started bawling as soon as everyone saw her. Wendy looked up and said, “Well, that’s it! It’s all over! We might as well destroy the castle now!”
Ludwig was serious now. “Don’t be silly, Wendy! I’m sure that Iggy and Lemmy don’t really mean it. They’re probably kidding. Besides, if they weren’t kidding, then it’s not like the war would be today, right?”
Wendy wiped her eyes and said, “I guess you’re right, Ludwig.”
Ludwig nodded and said, “Of course I’m right. I’m the oldest.” Suddenly, the monitor picked up two conversations. Ludwig turned and said, “Oh! The monitor picked up two conversations.”
Larry was confused. “Didn’t the narrator just say that?”
Ludwig turned to Larry and said, “Who cares what the narrator said? Let’s just listen, shall we?”
Ludwig turned
the speakers on. Iggy and Lemmy yelled at the same time, “WE’RE NOT GONNA
WAIT! THE
WAR OCCURS TODAY!”
All the Koopalings, except for Iggy and Lemmy, became silent. Ludwig turned the speakers off. Suddenly, Wendy started crying again, louder than before. “You see?” Wendy said, crying. “I told you! Game over! Why don’t we just destroy the castle now?”
Ludwig turned back to the monitor and said in an upset tone, “No! We can’t give up yet! I won’t give up, even though things seem grim.”
Wendy yelled, “Hello! Things are more than grim! Unless you have another plan, then we might as well blow the place up.”
Morton agreed with Wendy, who was now sobbing instead of bawling. “Wendy’s got a point,” Morton said in agreement. “There’s nothing more that we can do.”
Ludwig was still upset. “No! I’ll think of something. Please, just give me some more time and I’ll-“
“We don’t have any more time, you idiot!” Wendy interrupted. “Let’s leave while we still can!”
Ludwig was quiet
for a while. After a while, Morton started crying. “Oh, I don’t want our
humble abode to get
destroyed, disintegrated,
crushed, blown, up-“
Larry started crying too. “This week has gone from bad to worse. First my plants die from overwatering, and now a war between two of our siblings is threatening to destroy our castle!”
Now Roy started sobbing. Larry looked at Roy, tears in his eyes, and said, “Roy, are you crying?”
Roy looked at Larry and said, “Of course not! I’ve just… got something in my eye.” Roy turned around and pretended to rub his eye. He started rubbing a little faster. “Stupid thing won’t come out!” Roy said, a little louder than before. He turned back to Larry and shouted, “Oh, come here you!” He grabbed Larry and bear-hugged him.
Roy started crying
and Larry was suffocating. “Roy,” Larry said, trying to breathe, “could
you loosen your
grip a bit?”
Everyone was crying, except for Ludwig. Ludwig started shaking. Suddenly, a teardrop from Ludwig’s eye fell to his desk. “I can’t give up,” Ludwig sobbed, trying to think of a new plan. He couldn’t think of one. He turned to the others and said, “Okay, it IS hopeless! We’re doomed!”
Now everyone was crying.
Chapter 7: World War III, or the Koopalutionary War. Whatever makes you happy!
It was now 4:30 PM, but the way it looked, it was like midnight. The sky was dark and full of storm clouds. (Isn’t that the perfect setting for a war?) Suddenly, two doors opened. Iggy came out of one door and Lemmy came out of the other. They both walked to the center of the front yard. Larry, Ludwig, Morton, Roy, and Wendy were watching from a window in Ludwig’s room/laboratory. Fear was in their eyes.
Iggy and Lemmy stood across from each other, staring at one another. After a few minutes went by, Iggy and Lemmy pushed a button. Two Bullet Bill cannons appeared next to them. After they appeared, lightning was seen. Both of the twins pushed the button again, which caused the Bullet Bills to start firing. Bullet Bills were flying left and right. Lemmy dodged each Bullet Bill that was coming towards him, and so did Iggy. The Bullet Bills that Iggy dodged hit the castle. The castle shook with each impact.
Inside Ludwig’s r/l, the rest of the Koopalings were running in frantic circles. The lights were flickering, but no one was messing with the light switch. “We’ve got to get out of here!’ Wendy said in a frightened tone.
Ludwig nodded and said, “I agree.”
He ran out of the room, and the others followed. Roy just stood there. Larry looked back and said, “Aren’t you coming, Roy?”
Roy shook his head, crossed his arms, and said, “I’m not leaving my home. You can’t make me!” A part of the ceiling fell next to Roy. “LATER!” Roy yelled, running out of the room. He dashed past Larry, which made him spin. Larry shook off the dizziness and ran out as well.
After a little while, both of the bickering brothers pushed a green button, which made the B. B. cannons stop firing. They then pushed a blue button, which made a warp pipe appear on the opposite side of each brother (the side that didn’t have the cannon on it). Both whistled, which made all of Iggy’s giant troops (he owns Big Island, remember?), including Goombas, Koopas, Piranhas, Dry Bones, Spinies, and Sumo Bros, jump out and appear next to him (the Piranhas popped up next to Iggy). All of Lemmy’s icy troops (he owns Ice Land), including Dr. Freezegoods, Freezies, Frost Piranhas, Snow Spikes, Snailicorns, and Ice Snifits, jumped out of the pipe and appeared next to him (like I said earlier, but this time, the Piranhas popped up next to Lemmy). The two turned and faced the troops.
“Okay troops,” Iggy started. “This is it! This isn’t a game anymore! This is WAR! It’s high time that Lemmy, the short, rainbow-haired doofus, to see who the true superior one is!” All of Iggy’s troops cheered.
Now Lemmy was giving a speech. “Um,” Lemmy started. “… Short and sweet, Iggy’s a four-eyed doo-doo head, and we have to show him who’s boss!” All of Lemmy’s troops cheered.
When they finished cheering, it started to rain. Iggy and Lemmy turned so that they were facing each other and yelled for all of their troops to hear, “CHARGE!” Another lightning bolt was seen. With that, the armies of enemies attacked. The giant armies squashed some of the frosty foes, while most of the frostfighters (instead of frostbite, it’s frostfight. Deal with it!) gave the mega monsters a frostbite that they’d never forget.
While the armies were fighting, Iggy and Lemmy had their own fight. With their new wands in hand, they walked in circles, like people usually do before they start fighting. Once again, thunder was heard. Suddenly, Iggy zapped Lemmy with his red wand. The attack hit Lemmy hard, but he regained energy. He then blasted Iggy’s wand hand with a blue beam, freezing the entire arm. Isn’t that funny; a blue wand with a blue beam. Well, ok, it’s not that funny. Iggy used his frozen arm to whack Iggy in the face. Upon impact, Lemmy fell off of his all and the ice that was on Iggy’s hand broke. Lemmy got back up, but Iggy blasted his ball, causing Lemmy to fall back down. A huge lightning bolt struck the land when Lemmy hit the ground. When he got up, he blasted Iggy’s army with a freezing beam. The blast froze Iggy’s army. Iggy looked at Lemmy and said, “You froze my army!”
Lemmy said, “Didn’t the narrator just say that?”
Iggy was furious. “Who cares?” Iggy yelled with fury.
Lemmy wagged his finger. “Not too fond of the cold shoulder, are we?” Lemmy said. He laughed after saying the pun.
Iggy’s face was red. “I’ll teach you to mess with my army!” Iggy hollered. He then created an energy ball that hovered over Lemmy’s army. The ball suddenly turned into a Super Thwomp (in case you didn’t know, those are found in the game New Super Mario Bros), which squashed all of Lemmy’s army. The remains were piles of snow, goggles (from the Snow Spikes), and broken shells and horns (from the Snailicorns). Lemmy stared at the remains, a dropped jaw on his face. “What’s the matter, Lemmy?” Iggy asked. “Is all of this pressure too HEAVY for you?” He started laughing.
Lemmy’s face was now red. “You’re gonna pay for that, four-eyes!” Lemmy said through his gritted teeth.
Iggy took a step forward. “Bring it on, small fry!” Iggy yelled. Lemmy tried to whack Iggy with his wand, but Iggy defended with his wand.
All of the other Koopalings got out of the castle and watched the fight. “Cool!” Roy said. “We get to watch Iggy and Lemmy fighting! How awesome is this?” Everyone stared at Roy. “Sorry,” Roy said shamefully.
This sword fight went on for hours. It was 7:05 PM when Iggy and Lemmy finally became tired. After a few minutes, Iggy and Lemmy made the final sword fight move. They tried to whack each other on the head, but they both defended with their wands. The move was so powerful that both wands broke upon impact. Both wands exploded, and the rain washed their ashes away. Iggy and Lemmy looked at each other, then had a slap fight.
“WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!” a loud voice yelled.
Everyone, including Iggy and Lemmy, looked for the source of the voice. Suddenly, Bowser landed with his Koopa Clown Copter. When he landed, everyone jumped. He jumped out and ran towards Iggy and Lemmy. They stared at Bowser’s angry face. “Hi,” Iggy and Lemmy greeted sheepishly. Bowser wasn’t amused.
“WHAT DID YOU TWO DO TO MY YARD?!” Bowser asked in a loud tone. Iggy and Lemmy were about to speak, but Bowser held his hand up. “Uh-uh! Not a word out of any of you! I know what’s going on here!” Bowser said, still angry. He continued. “I thought for a while about what happened a couple of days ago when you two had that street fight, and while I was having breakfast today, it hit me. You two are fighting about something!”
Roy yelled, “Wow, Dad! It must’ve taken you all night to come up with that deduction!” He started snickering.
Bowser faced Roy and said, “Well, you’re right Roy. It DID take me all night to come up with that deduction.” Roy had a blank face (like this: O_O). Bowser turned back to Iggy and Lemmy again. “Now where was I?” Bowser asked himself.
Iggy answered, “You were just about to say that I could continue to beat up this multicolored dipstick!”
Bowser shook his head. “No, that wasn’t it. Now what was I gonna say?”
Lemmy answered, “You were just about to say that I could finish fighting this blind-as-a-bat dork!”
Iggy and Lemmy started fighting again, but Bowser stopped them by picking them up by their shells. Bowser remembered what he was going to say. “Now I remember what I was going to say!” Bowser said thankfully.
“Didn’t the narrator just say that?” Iggy and Lemmy queried at the same time.
Bowser roared, “WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT THE NARRATOR SAID!” Iggy and Lemmy zipped their mouths shut. No really, they had zippers on their mouths, and they zipped the zippers shut.
Bowser continued. “Anyway, FYI, guys: SAVE THE FIGHTING FOR THE MARIO BROS!” The twins had their eyes wide open. “This is ridiculous!” Bowser said. “You two are twins. No, you’re not twins. You’re best friends!”
After hearing this, Iggy and Lemmy looked at each other. The both of them said, “But-“
Bowser interrupted. “Don’t but me! Right now, you’re not acting like either of those. Right now you’re acting like spoiled brats! In fact, you guys are acting like Wendy!”
The twins gasped. Wendy was appalled. “Hey, I’m right here!” Wendy yelled.
Bowser looked at her and said, “So?” Wendy said nothing.
Bowser looked back at the twins. “Anyhow, you didn’t always act like this. You two used to be inseparable, but now you’re like a piece of paper torn in the middle. Try to remember the good times you two had together.”
Iggy and Lemmy remembered the good times together…
The scene goes to Iggy and Lemmy’s room. Iggy and Lemmy were babies, and they were playing with a small set of ? Blocks. “I wuv u, Iggy,” Baby Lemmy said happily.
Baby Iggy looked at Lemmy, a smile on his face, and said, “I wuv you too, Lemmy.” The held each other’s hand.
Next, Iggy and Lemmy remembered the grief and anguish they caused people by pranking them, even the trouble they caused to their own family. Finally, they remembered the countless times that they tried to defeat the Mario Bros. together. Sure, they kept losing, but they lost together, as a losing team…
After the heart-touching nostalgia was done, Iggy and Lemmy had tears in their eyes. Bowser said gently, “Now I’m going to put you two down, and I expect to see some brotherly love. Got it?”
Bowser placed Iggy and Lemmy softly to the ground. After a while, Iggy said happily with tears in his eyes, “Lemmy.”
“Iggy,” Lemmy said happily, tears also in his eyes. They then ran up to each other and hugged one another. They could not hold back their tears any longer, so they started crying. Bowser smiled.
Soon, the clouds went away and the sun shined. I know what you’re thinking: how could the sun be shining when it’s 8 PM? Well, it happened, so deal with it! The rest of the Koopalings had dropped jaws. “That’s it?” Ludwig said, not believing what had just happened. “That’s all we had to do to get Iggy and Lemmy back together? Oh, why didn’t I think of that before?”
Morton answered, “Because King Dad is more intelligent, smart, brilliant-“ Everyone bashed Morton hard on the head. “Never mind,“ Morton said clumsily. Upon saying this, he fainted.
Iggy and Lemmy had their arms on the others’ shoulders. “Come on, best buddy,” Iggy said happily. “Let’s go play my new Super Bowser video game.”
Lemmy was happy as well. “Okeydokey, best bro!” Lemmy said in agreement. They headed to their room. Both of them were smiling.
Ludwig was thinking hard about what happened. Roy said, “I’m outta here!’ and headed for his room.
Wendy said, “Me too.” and went to her room.
“Ditto,” Larry said.
Ludwig shrugged and said, “Oh well!” He then headed for his room.
Suddenly, Morton
woke up, looked around, and said worryiedly, “Hey, where’d everyone go?”
He looked at the front yard and saw holes in the ground made by the Bullet
Bills. “Oh no! Aliens have abducted all of my fellow family members! I
know what I must do!” Morton turned and ran screaming like a girl to his
room.
Chapter 8: Life After the Fight
So in the end, it all worked out. Larry got some new plants and made sure that Iggy wasn’t going to water them. Unfortunately for him, he was so busy thinking about Iggy that he overwatered his plants. He then said angrily, “Iggy, you’re definitely gonna pay!”
Roy popped his head into Larry’s room. “Still, if you need help, just call me!” He then walked off.
After his conversation,
Roy came up with a business idea. He called the business Bully Inc. He
even made a commercial for it. “Bully Inc.!” Roy announced on the TV. “If
you need help beating up someone, like Iggy Koopa maybe, then just call
me at 1-800-INEEDHELPBEATINGUPIGGYANDIALSONEED
TOCALLROYKOOPATOHELPMEWITHTHISPROBLEM.
Our operators are standin’ by.” He then went over to a table with a phone
on it, put a pair of joke glasses on, and sat by the phone.
He then took off the glasses, ran back to where he was originally standing, tripped on his way there, got back up, and said, “Hope you wrote that down, CUZ I’M NOT GONNA REPEAT IT! Bully Inc., where if you don’t call us, then we’ll come visit you and MAKE you call us. Have a terrible day, losers!”
He didn’t get any customers. Roy sat at the desk for a moment and said, “No customers…it’s a new record!” Roy started jumping up and down like a total idiot.
Wendy finally got some well-deserved beauty rest. In fact, she took Roy’s advice and had a 24-hour beauty nap instead of 23. Unfortunately, when she woke up from her Snow White-like sleep, it was 8:00 PM the next day. She threw a tantrum because she’d missed breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Morton got prepared to fight the “alien race”. He was wearing a bike helmet, pillows on his stomach and back, and had a baseball bat in hand. “Okay, I’m ready! I’m not afraid of any stupid aliens!” Morton said confidently. When he saw the shadow of a large figure wearing antennae, he ran back to his room screaming like a little girl again. It turned out to be Ludwig, who was coming back from a Sci-Fi Convention.
After he got back to his room, Ludwig fixed his room so it looked like nothing had happened. He did a good job.
He decided to sit down. Unfortunately for him, he sat on a Bob-omb, which exploded after Ludwig’s butt made contact with the Bob-omb’s face. The room looked like it had before Ludwig fixed it, and Ludwig’s face was black. Suddenly, Iggy and Lemmy popped out of one of Ludwig’s desk drawers. They were laughing.
Ludwig was furious. “YOU GUYS!” Ludwig yelled through his gritted teeth. Iggy and Lemmy ran back to their newly fixed room. On the way, the lead CK apologized for hitting Iggy and gave him a gift basket of a bunch of useful stuff.
When they got to their room, they played more of Iggy’s, er, Iggy and Lemmy’s new Super Bowser game. The both looked at each other. “My buddy,” Iggy said, a smile on his face.
Lemmy was smiling too, and he said, “My brother.” They grabbed each other’s hand after saying this. Like I said, it did work out in the end. Well, at least it worked out for the twins. Iggy and Lemmy were together again, and they lived happily ever after.
The End… or is it?
Three weeks later, another problem occurred.
“Lemmy, did you use all of the soda up?” Iggy asked.
The Koopalings were having breakfast. Lemmy, who was taking a bite of his cereal, said, “Um, no.”
Iggy was suspicious. Iggy walked over to Lemmy and said, “Then let me check your cereal.”
Lemmy took his bowl and said, “No.”
Iggy grabbed the bowl, but Lemmy was still holding on to it. The twins had a game of cereal tug-o-war. “Come on, Lemmy! Let me see it!” Iggy commanded.
“No!” Lemmy answered. Suddenly, both of the twins fell backwards. The cereal flew up and landed on Iggy’s head. He had cereal all over his face. Everyone, including Lemmy, was laughing their heads off. Roy was laughing the hardest.
Iggy looked up and said triumphantly, “Aha! You DID use the soda!”
Lemmy shrugged and said, “So? At least I don’t have cereal on my head!”
Iggy stood back and yelled, “Well, at least I don’t use a stupid ball for my traveling needs!”
Lemmy said angrily, “Well at least I don’t wear stupid glasses that make me look like a stupid dork!”
“Small-fried freak show!”
“Girlfriendless four-eyed loser!”
Iggy and Lemmy’s faces (not lips!) were touching. Both were growling. All of the other Koopalings said, “Oh brother! Here we go again!” Everyone except Iggy and Lemmy huddled around Ludwig to hear the plan…
