It was a cold and rainy night outside Bowser’s castle. Lightning echoed in the air, followed by the wind, the rain, and the screams that were coming from one of the castle's halls.
Iggy: AHHHHHHHHH...
Roy: You can't escape from me, you wimp!
Iggy was doing his usual “running away from Roy” and Roy was trying to do his usual “beating up the wimpy brother”.
Roy: Come on, Iggy! Let me punch your face! It won't hurt you... too much, heheh!
Iggy: GO AWAY!!!
Iggy grabbed a flowerpot on a shelf and threw it at Roy's face.
Roy: Ouch! Grrr! You little punk!
Iggy grabbed some plates off the same shelf and threw them all at Roy.
Roy: ARGH!!! YOU WIMP THINK THAT YOU CAN STOP ME?!
Iggy: Uh oh.
Iggy started running again while Roy pursued him. Iggy threw everything in his sight to hinder his brother’s pursuit, but since Roy was the strongest Koopaling, he had no trouble destroying all the obstacles in his path.
Iggy: Drat!
Roy: HAHAHAHAHA!!! THIS WON'T HELP YOU!!!
The pursuit lasted for a long time. Iggy was smarter than his strong brother, but underestimating Roy's brains was a big error.
Iggy: That brainless fool will never catch me!
Iggy ran the fastest he could. He eventually reached to his room, his dear room; he was safe there. He locked the iron door (Roy had crashed down the original door), and walked to his bed, but he wasn't expecting to see Roy reading a comic book on his bed.
Iggy: WHA...!!!
Roy: Surprise, surprise! Did you think that you could escape from me?
Iggy: But how did you get here?! I left you behind! You couldn't-
Roy: I know about all the shortcuts and secret passages inside this castle! This includes the secret passage inside your room! Now it's beating up time!!!
Iggy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
Ten minutes later…
Roy finished off Iggy and went to the Living Room.
Iggy: My glasses broke. There goes my allowance.
Half an hour later…
Roy was switching channels on the TV over and over; it was clear that he wanted to see something more bloodily.
Roy: How boring.
Roy found a movie not suitable for his age, he started to watch it, but it seemed that he wasn't a big fan of TV blood even though he did worse things to his siblings.
Roy: Enough of violent movies! It is better to go to bed.
Iggy: So, the bully of the family is afraid of violence movies.
Iggy had popped from the couch's back.
Roy: I'm not afraid, it is just because-
Iggy: You're afraid! End of story!
Roy: You're willing to get a punch, aren't you?
Iggy: No, there's no need to beat me. I'm going to shut up!
Roy was walking in the hall, Lemmy was following him.
Roy: Stop following me.
Iggy: I'm not following you. This hall is the only way to get in my room.
Roy: Okay then.
Larry: Hi guys!
Larry popped from nowhere and startled Roy and Iggy.
Iggy: Larry! Where did you pop from?
Larry: I was hiding behind this statue. I was going to stole King Dad's mo- I mean, get a midnight snack.
Iggy: Oh.
Larry: Roy, do you want to hear something?
Roy: What?
Larry: You're a stupid, fat guy!
Iggy: ...!
Roy: WHAT DID YOU SAY LOSER?!
Larry: You're a stupid, fat guy that wears pink!!! HAHAHAHA...
Roy chased Larry around the hall while Iggy tried to stop them.
Iggy: People, stop that now.
Iggy tripped and fell on the ground.
Roy: I got you now!
Larry: AHHHHH...
Roy punched Larry, but not that hard.
Larry: OOF!
Larry fell on the ground.
Roy: This will teach you to not-
Blood came from under Larry.
Roy: OH MY DAD!!!
Iggy walked towards Roy.
Iggy: What happe- AHHHHHHH... YOU KILLED LAR-
Roy put his hand over Iggy's mouth.
Roy (whispering): Quiet idiot or you're going to wake up everyone!
Iggy: You killed him! You are a murderer!!!
Roy: Shut up idiot! I did nothing to him!!!
Iggy: So, why are your hands covered in blood?
Roy looked at his hands. They were covered in blood.
Iggy: You are really a murderer and I'm going to tell everyone about this!!!
Roy: I SAID TO SHUT UP!!!
Roy punched Iggy on the face.
Iggy: ARGH!!!
Iggy fell on his knees on the floor and he hid his face.
Iggy: MURDERER!!!
Roy: STOP SAYING THAT!!!
Iggy started to sob.
Roy: Huh?
Iggy: My face! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO MY FACE!!!
Iggy showed his face to Roy. His face was all covered in blood.
Roy: Oh no!
Roy hold Iggy before he hit the ground, Iggy was trying to say something.
Iggy: Roy, look at what you did!
Roy stared at Iggy's bloody face.
Iggy: Please, promise to me that you will don't do any beating up! It is my last wish.
Roy: Okay, I promise, I will never beat up people anymore, but don't die or I will be sent to the dungeon forever.
Iggy: Farewell, Roy.
Roy stared at Iggy's corpse, after that he stared at Larry's corpse, and finally, he stared at his blood-covered hands.
Roy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
Roy ran away from his dead brothers. He went to the bathroom to wash his blood-covered hands.
Roy: I need to get rid of this blood!
A figure approached and put his hand over Roy's shoulder.
Roy: AHHHH... I didn't do anything wrong!!!
Ludwig: What are you talking about?
Roy: Ah, it's only you Ludwig.
Ludwig: You look so worried. I heard some weird screams coming from the hall and I saw you entering in the bathroom. Is there something wrong?
Roy: No! There's nothing wrong going on here!
<
Ludwig: What is that red liquid covering your hand?
Roy: Uh...
Roy hid his hands behind his back. Ludwig stared at Roy suspiciously.
Ludwig: Are you trying to hide something from me?
Roy: Of course I'm not. Why would I do that?
Ludwig: Where is Iggy?
Roy: Who's Iggy?
Ludwig: ... Don't pretend to be the idiot! I am sure that I heard Iggy's voice.
Roy started to sweat; he knew that Ludwig would find out about the death of Iggy and Larry, so he decided to tell the entire truth.
Roy: I killed Iggy and Larry!!!
Ludwig: I think I didn't hear well what you just said. You did what?!
Roy: I KILLED LARRY AND LARRY!!!
Ludwig stared at Roy with a shocked face, but he didn't faint.
Ludwig: I can't believe it! I knew that you liked to hurt them a lot, but I wasn't expecting you to commit murder!
Roy: But it was an accident! I just punched them and I didn't use my full strength to do that! Please don't tell anyone about this.
Ludwig: I can't! Sooner or later, King Dad will find out about Iggy and Larry's death. We can't just tell him that they vanished into thin air.
Roy: Please, Ludwig, think of something; King Dad will surely send me to the dungeon for my entire life if he finds out!
Ludwig: Hmm... Roy, how exactly did you kill them?
Roy: I just did a single punch on them and they died.
Ludwig: That's weird. How did they die in a single punch but stay alive when you beat them up?
Roy: Yeah... I never thought of this before.
Ludwig: What did you do after they died?
Roy: I promised not to beat anyone up for the rest of my life.
Ludwig: Roy, bring me to their corpses. Something strange is going on.
Roy: Uh, okay.
Roy and Ludwig left the bathroom and Roy brought Ludwig to Iggy and Larry's death site.
Roy: There are they.
Ludwig: Hmm...
Ludwig walked around the two dead bodies.
Roy: What are you doing?
Ludwig ignored him.
Ludwig: Huh?
Roy: Did you find something?
Ludwig: No.
Roy: What smell?
Ludwig: This smell makes me fell so... hungry.
Bagels walked into the hall.
Bagels: ARF, ARF, ARF, ARF!
Ludwig: Oh, hello Bagels! Do you want something?
Bagels went toward Iggy and Larry's bodies, and she started licking the blood that was there. This made Roy and Ludwig completely disgusted.
Ludwig: THAT'S SICK!!!
Bagels licked the blood on Larry's right foot. Ludwig scared off Bagels.
Roy: Get out of here, you sick dog! Leave them alone!
Ludwig: Well, I think they are really dead, so the only thing we can do now is bury their corpses in the castle's garden. It is the only thing we can do for them now.
Roy nodded in agreement.
Ludwig: Right, I will carry Larry and you will carry Iggy.
Roy: No way! I won't put my hands on dead people.
Ludwig: Fine then, I will tie them up with this rope and we are going to drag them with us.
Roy: Okay.
Roy and Ludwig heard footsteps in the hall. They got scared at first, but it was only Morton.
Roy: Morton?! What are you doing here?
Morton: I'm going to the kitchen to get a midnight snack because I'm hungry and I don't like to be hungry, so I'm going to the kitchen, the place where we store our food and-
Ludwig: Uh... Just ignore us.
Morton: Okay, see you tomorrow morning when the sun rises and we wake up to another day-
Roy: I'm leaving.
Morton: Ludwig, I want to talk with just for a second.
Ludwig: *sigh*
Ten minutes later…
Roy was already at the front door when Ludwig caught up with him.
Roy: Why did you take so long?
Ludwig: You know Morton. He loves to talk.
Roy: Let's go to the garden.
Ludwig: Huh... Roy, I want to ask something.
Roy: What?!
Ludwig: I want to dig the grave.
Roy: Uh, okay then.
Ten minutes later…
The rain continued to fall hard outside the castle. Ludwig was digging a grave in the middle of the garden while Roy held a lit up lamp and watched the corpses.
Roy: Why are you doing that, Ludwig? You know I am the strongest of us. It would be better if I dug the grave instead of you... And this rain is starting to annoy me!
Ludwig: I'm almost finished, just one more- Wow, look at that, I found bones!!!
Roy: Where?!
Roy looked in the grave but saw nothing.
Roy: But there's no-
Ludwig: (whispering) Just pretend. Don't ask anything, okay?
Roy: Uh, yeah! Those are very nasty bones!
They talked in a loud tone like in the way you do when you want someone to hear it.
Ludwig: And look at those creepy bugs here!
Roy: Oh yeah, very, very nasty!
Ludwig: I heard that they like to eat dead flesh!
Roy: Very cool!!!
Iggy and Larry: AHHHHHHHH...
Iggy and Larry stood up and screamed so loud that everyone in the castle woke up. Roy stared in a shocked state at his two non-dead brothers.
Larry: Uh, we can explain this.
Ludwig: You don't need to explain, little brother. I knew that you weren't really dead.
Iggy: You knew it?!
Ludwig: Yes, you can blame Morton for that. But he told me about your plot.
Iggy: How did Morton know about us?
Ludwig: Well, Morton saw you two talking in the kitchen, and he also saw you getting the ketchup and going to the Living Room. I never thought that one of Morton's speeches could be useful, but next time you discuss a plan, do it inside your room so nobody finds out.
Roy: Ketchup?
Ludwig: It seems that their “bloody plan” was splashing ketchup on themselves when you punched them and acting out a fake death to make you promise not to beat them up. Then after the promise, they would clean themselves and say that they were healed in the hospital. Am I right?
Larry: Yes, you guessed it right!
Roy: So... it was all a trick.
They all stared at Roy when he said that.
Roy: You wimps fooled me!
Roy clenched his fists and went toward Larry and Iggy.
Larry: Please, don't beat us up.
Iggy: You promised me that you wouldn't beat us up anymore!
Roy: That promise doesn't count.
Iggy and Larry tried to run away, but Roy grabbed their hair and threw them on the floor.
Roy: This bloody plan thing wasn't funny!
Roy stared at them with a cold look, but he pondered for a moment. He looked at the two Koopalings' faces and turned back toward the castle.
Roy: I'm going to spare you this time, but tomorrow, you won't have the same luck.
Roy went to the castle, then turned and told them something.
Roy: I will forget everything that has passed in the past hours... and I want you all to forget this entire thing.
Iggy and Larry: ...?
Roy: Enter the castle now, or you all will get a cold in this rain, and I don't want this happening to you.
Roy went in the castle, leaving a very confused Larry and Iggy behind.
Iggy: Why didn't he beat us up?
Larry: Do you know something, Ludwig?
Ludwig: I don't know. Even though I hang out with him plenty of times, I don't understand him at all. Maybe he was really worried about you.
Larry: Roy worried?! He wouldn't worry about us even if we were really dead!
Iggy: He just doesn’t want to be sent to the dungeon. He only worries about himself.
Ludwig: Well, you think this because you don't know Roy well. You don't even know if he really has eyes under those shades. Don't formulate hasty conclusions about him.
Iggy: ...
Larry: Iggy, are you ok?
Iggy: ... Huh? Oh yes, I'm ok.
Ludwig: It is better for us to get inside the castle before we get a cold. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow and I'm not planning to be sick.
The four Koopalings entered the castle and went to their beds. They all fell asleep immediately except for Iggy, who was thinking about when Roy spared him and his brothers and wanted them in the castle so they wouldn't get sick. Iggy continued to think about this.
Iggy: Maybe Roy really cared about me and Larry when they “died”, but I am not sure. I don't even know if what he said was on purpose or the rain made him dazed... Well, only DAD knows.
And with this thought, he fell asleep on his bed.
The next morning…
Roy was chasing Iggy around the castle halls for the daily beating.
Roy: Come back here, wimp! I will crush you!
Iggy: AHHHHHHH!
Iggy suddenly tripped and fell on the floor with his again-brokwn arm under his body.
Iggy: Ugh, my arm hurts.
Roy: ...
Roy grabbed Iggy and put him on his back.
Iggy: What are you doing?
Roy: I can't beat you with your arm broken. I'm going to carry you to the Hospital Wing.
Iggy: Are you sick?! Because this isn't the bully Roy I used to know.
Roy: Shut up, wimp, I continue being myself, the greatest Roy. When your arm is healed again, I will punch you until your body gets all purple, understand?
Iggy: Yes, I think.
Roy: Iggy...
Iggy: What?
Roy: If you tell someone about this, I will shoot fire at you and punch your face until you lose your entire sight!
Iggy: ...
Iggy knew that this wasn't what Roy wanted to say.
Iggy: (Yeah, I think he really cares about us.)
