Welcome back to the Kooky side {-A Koopalings Fanfic-}

Ch.1

Outskirts of Darkland: 

With Ludwig:

The oldest Koopaling, Ludwig Von Koopa, was trudging along, heading back home after yet another defeat.

His hair, normally neat and tidy in its signature hairstyle, was disheveled and messy. 

He had his wand in-hand, the thing being dragged along the ground as he walked, his entire body feeling hurt and sore from his wounds.  

He had been forced to walk all the way home from the land he had been stationed in, Junior, Kamek and Kammy having taken the only airship they had. They had many more before, but they had all crashed after the Mario brothers defeated them. 

He COULD levitate, being the only Koopaling who knew more spells than the others, but his energy was too low for him to actually do it right now. 

He was exhausted, afterall. 

It was the same as always. 

Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach, Mario and Luigi defeats them all, saves the princess and then they leave them all to recover before they have to go through the same vicious cycle all over again. 

He sighed, taking his eyes off of the ground and glanced up, seeing that he was at least a few kilometers away from the new Bowser Castle. 

The last Bowser Castle had been left in ruins, having collapsed after a past defeat long ago. 

It had taken a while to get a new castle built, but they were all lucky they had the minions who had been overworked to help build a new one. 

He could only hope that this one didn’t collapse like the last one, though. 

He sighed again, continuing his walk home. 

Perhaps Bowser had succeeded this time? 

It was unlikely though, considering 100% of the time, they were always defeated. 

If there even WAS a small sliver of a chance where they do succeed and actually defeat Mario and Luigi, then it would be a VERY small percentage. 

Maybe around 0.0001%? 

Yeah, sounds about right. 

He hadn’t been paying attention to where he was walking, nearly walking right into one of the many lava pits that were around Dark Land. 

He gasped in horror and shock, quickly jumping back, his heart racing as he clutched his wand close to his chest. 

His father had been knocked into lava multiple times by the Mario brothers, and many times Kamek and Kammy had to revive him. 

Deciding to keep walking, he went around the lava pit, continuing on his way back home. 

He began to zone out again. 

He knew that Bowser wasn’t even his real father to begin with. 

He, and the other Koopalings, were all adopted. 

He was the oldest Koopaling, so he WOULD have been next in line for king, if Bowser Jr. hadn’t been born. 

Bowser had gone on a vacation, leaving them all after another defeat from the Mario brothers, and then fourteen months after he returned, Bowser Jr. had been left at the front door of the old Bowser Castle with a note explaining that he was now Bowser’s ‘problem’. 

The King of Darkland didn’t even remember what had happened when he had taken his vacation, so finding out who the mother was had been impossible, so he had given up and decided to tell Junior that his mother was Peach.
